ArF (B--X) emission at 193 nm has been studied as a function of pressure in Ar/F/sub 2/, Ar/NF/sub 3/, Ne/Ar/F/sub 2/, and Ne/Ar/NF/sub 3/ mixtures under long pulse electron-beam excitation. Fluorescence yield, formation yield, as well as apparent quenching rate constants of the ArF* (B) state by Ne, Ar, F/sub 2/, and NF/sub 3/ have been measured. While the ArF* formation yield is about the same as per neon or argon excitation produced, highest fluorescence yield is obtained from a Ne/Ar/F/sub 2/ mixture. Using Ne as the main diluent gas prevents the rapid conversion of ArF* to Ar/sub 2/F* and Ne itself is a slower quencher of ArF* than Ar.
