Abstract
In a current-carrying plasma with the existence of localized stationary potential jumps with is demonstrated. High-frequency () noise and low-frequency () noise with peak around the transition region. Ion and electron heating is observed. High anomalous resistivity is found on the high-potential side of the jump, with a maximum value within the jump.
