Abstract: The coefficient representing utilization of the electron beam energy (K ~2.3×10^–3) in dissociation of XeF₂ vapor was determined. This dissociation occurred under the action of selective radiation emitted from electron-beam-excited Xe^*₂ dimers. Lasing was observed as a result of the C–A transition in the XeF* molecule (λ = 480 nm) and the output energy was 3.1 mJ.
