Abstract
The vibrational kinetics of HCl in a Ne-buffered XeCl selfsustained la ser discharge is self-consistently calculated by coupling the vibratio nal master equation with the chemical one, the Boltzmann equation for electron transport and the circuit equations. The results show the lim its of the classical simplified schemes of HCl vibrational kinetics us ed in the literature. Problems connected with the neglection of HCl de pletion instabilities in the calculations are discussed using a parall el resistor network model.
