Rate coefficients were calculated for the first time for vibrational excitation in pure HBr in both DC and RF, E and in ExB fields. We have studied the effect of the amplitude and frequency of applied fields. The calculation was based on a Monte Carlo technique. It was found that a complex behavior may develop due to sharp and very large vibrational cross sections and modulation of the energy distribution function by time-dependent fields and by magnetic field.
