Abstract

The vibrational kinetics of HCl in a Ne-buffered XeCl selfsustained laser discharge is self-consistently calculated by coupling the vibrational master equation with the chemical one, the Boltzmann equation for electron transport and the circuit equations. The results show the limits of the classical simplified schemes of HCl vibrational kinetics used in the literature. Problems connected with the neglection of HCl depletion instabilities in the calculations are discussed using a parallel resistor network model.
