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.
