The numerical analysis of ionization processes in nitrogen–oxygen plasma with low pressure (10-3 < p < 1 Pa) in crossed electric and magnetic fields has been carried out. The electron trajectories and impact processes have been investigated as the base for the calculation of the ionization zone dimensions. The calculated trajectories and the size of ionization zone make it possible to select the optimal sensor characteristics.
