From the optical emission of and radiative states in the negative glow of DC pulsed discharges at pressures 1 - 4 Torr (133 - 532 Pa) and current densities , it has been determined that the vibrational excitation of the state deviates from a Boltzmann distribution and strong intensities of the second positive system (especially from v = 1) were also observed in the afterglow. Such strong emission is interpreted in terms of the growing of the vibrational distribution in the post-discharge region as the gas temperature is reduced. The ) states are mainly produced by electron collisions on ions under discharge conditions and quickly disappear in the afterglow as a result of - electron recombination.
