A kinetic model of the XeBr rare-gas monohalide excimer laser is presented. Agreement of predicted and observed side emission from low-pressure Xe:Br/sub 2/ mixtures was used to determine rate constants for the formation of XeBr* from Xe* and Br/sub 2/ (2.0 +- 0.4 x 10/sup -9/ cm/sup 3//s) and the quenching of XeBr* by Br/sub 2/ (8 +- 2 x 10/sup -10/ cm/sup 3//s), as well as the radiative lifetime of XeBr* (17.5 +- 2.5 ns).
