Popis: 5% CO-He radiofrequency discharges have been theoretically and experimentally studied in a liq N 2 -cooled reactor operated at 6 torr as a function of the residence time. The discharges are characterized by CO dissociation rates higher than those observed in uncooled discharges and by time-dependent non Boltzmann vibrational distributions. A purely vibrational mechanism can reasonably be considered the main CO dissociation channel. The importance of O atoms as the main deactivating species, when CO 2 and C are at low density because they are trapped by the cooled walls, is stressed.
