Abstract
Experiments are described which indicate that the water-vapor laser is pumped by selective excitation of the upper lasing level through direct electron impact. A simple model based upon this idea is shown to explain the general behavior of the laser, and to give an estimate for the collision number for the relaxation of the 020 mode of H2O of the order of 20.
