Abstract

Cross sections for production of electronically excited states of CO₂⁺ in low‐energy He₂⁺‐CO₂ collisions have been measured. The magnitudes of these cross sections are large enough to suggest the possibility of producing laser action at one or more wavelengths in an e‐beam‐initiated discharge in He‐CO₂ mixtures.
