Abstract :
Summary form only given. A two dimensional (radial and longitudinal) model is developed in order to simulate the behaviour of the plasma column constituting the active medium of a CuHBr laser. Species taken into account by the code are Cu, Ne, Br, H atoms and H/sub 2/, HBr and CuBr molecules. We take all this species and Cu/sub 3/Br/sub 3/ to assess their densities at the thermal equilibrium.
