The calculations of quasistationary Kr and Xe beam-produced plasma parameters were performed in the range of gas densities Na from 1019 up to 1021 cm-3 and ionization degrees Nc/Na from 10-5 up to 10-3. The values of ion and electron densities, populations of excited states and electron temperature Tc depending on external ionization rate were obtained in the way of proper balance equation system solving. The main mechanisms responsible for BPP parameters forming were analyzed. Obtained results (specifically, Tc from 0.4 up to 0.8 eV) are distinguished with available information in publications.
