A comprehensive monitoring technique for the flow parameters of pulsed low-temperature gas plasma in experiments investigating structural and phase changes in the near-surface layers of materials initiated by interaction with the plasma is proposed. Experimental results are presented for monitoring surface temperature changes as a measure of the plasma impact efficiency directly during the experiment. Effects of ionization process disruption at the accelerator output and threshold changes in the thermophysical properties of the piezoceramic material with increasing number of plasma pulses (dose) are observed.
