In this paper, the effects of different assumptions related to plasma kinetics and plasma circuit interaction on the results of a self-consistent code for modeling an XeCl* self-sustained discharge-pumped laser have been examined. In particular, the authors have discussed the opportunity of coupling chemical and electron kinetics, the role of inductive effects in plasma circuit interaction, the NeXe{sup +} kinetics in Ne-buffered XeCl* lasers, the XeCl{sup {asterisk}} stimulated emission cross section, and the HCl vibrational kinetics. Finally, electron energy distribution functions for a Ne/Xe/HCl laser mixture, obtained by solving the two-term Boltzmann equation and using a Monte Carlo code have been compared.
