The considered HgBr laser may be operated with a preionized discharge and with an electron beam sustained discharge. The latter technique has been used to measure laser efficiency and discharge energy loading with HgBr2 in different buffer gas mixtures. In the experiments an argon buffer gave simultaneously the highest laser efficiency and the best energy loading. The present investigation is concerned with a kinetic model, taking into account the case of HgBr2/Ar mixes. Attention is given to the measurement of a variety of rate constants and cross sections required for the complete kinetic model. The developed model of the new Ar/HgBr2 sustained discharge laser can predict laser efficiency to within + or 10 percent over a wide range of operating conditions.
