Annotation
The sink parameter has been determined for an infinite cylindrical probe under conditions where charged particles are generated in the plasma around the probe. It is shown for the spherical probe that if the radius is small by comparison with the ionization length, then the sink parameter is determined by Bohm's expression. Probe operation is considered in the presence of ionization and recombination in the bulk of the plasma.
