Abstract
The formation, radiation, and quenching of $HgC1(B^{2}\Sigma^{+})$ have been investigated using a laser-induced chemiluminescence technique, Hg/$Cl_{2}$/Ar mixtures were irradiated near 2537 {\AA} by a frequency-doubled nitrogen-pumped pulled dye laser. The $Hg^{*}(^{3}P_{1})$ produced reacted with $Cl_{2}$ to yield $HgCl^{*} (B^{2} \Sigma^{+})$. The time behavior of the $HgCl (B^{2} \Sigma^{+}) \rightarrow HgCl(X^{2} \Sigma^{+})$ chemiluminescence was analyzed to obtain the following preliminary results:[FIGURE]
