Determination of rate constants for nonequilibrium reactions in gases with participation of electrons from ballistic experiments

Investigations on determination of the rate constants for reactions in nonequilibrium processes from ballistic experiments are reviewed. We obtained and give here the constants fro dissociative recombination in air, nitrogen, argon, krypton, and xenon and also the constants for ternary recombination of Al$^+$ and the attachment constants for aluminum oxides.
