The aim of this work is to highlight some quantities characterizing the Ne/Xe/HCl gas mixture plasma at high pressure and under uniform preionization conditions. This mixture is used as excitation medium for XeCl excimer lasers. A comprehensive model of discharge kinetics is presented. The model combines the physical processes in the discharge with the chemistry of formation and destruction of the excimer molecule. It is based on an extensive reaction scheme including the major electronic and ionic processes. The importance of excited atomic and molecular states is demonstrated. A parametric study is presented.
