Abstract. The quantum theory for the Penning and stochastic collisional ionization of atoms in an external electric field is developed and based on the operator perturbation theory and Focker-Plank stochastic equation method. Some estimates of the Penning process cross-sections for He -H, Na pairs are given. Àííîòàöèÿ.
