Abstract
The population inversion in a CO2-He glow discharge has been calculated, taking into account CO produced by dissociation in the discharge. The calculation was based on experimentally determined electron energy distributions and the measured effective relaxation constant of CO2 (001). It is shown that the population inversion is negligible in the absence of CO.
