The rates of vibrational relaxation of DCl (v=1) by Cl and Br are measured as (5.5 +- 1.6) x 10/sup -12/ and (2.3 +- 0.7) x 10/sup -13/ cm/sup 3/ molecule/sup -1/x sec/sup -1/, respectively. DCl is relaxed somewhat less rapidly than HCl in both cases. The rate for HBr (v=1) relaxed by Br atoms is found to be (2.6 +- 1.0) x 10/sup -12/ cm/sup 3/ molecule/sup -1/x sec/sup -1/. (AIP)
