Abstract
Ionization processes are considered in a low-temperature plasma which involve collisions of heavy particles leading to significant changes in the charged particle balance with ionization or recombination nonequilibrium. The possibilities for use of chemoionization processes in modern low temperature plasma physics applications such as gas laser active media, detection of oscillatory excitation in molecules, and optogalvanic spectroscopy are evaluated.
