Abstract
A Monte Carlo simulation of a magnetized cathode-glow region for a carbon dioxide laser discharge has been undertaken. The computational findings appear to confirm recent observations that the magnetic stabilization effect is due primarily to a Lorentz driven mixing motion of charge carriers at or near the cathode electrode surface.Keywords
