Cross sections for production of electronically excited states of CO2+ in low-energy He2+-CO2 collisions have been measured. The magnitudes of these cross sections are large enough to suggest the possibility of producing laser action at one or more wavelengths in an e-beam-initiated discharge in He-CO2 mixtures.
