The populations of the nascent CO formed in the reactions oi COS with 0(3P~) and O(" Dz) atoms: O? P) + cos s co? + so, O(' D) c COS 4 COi + SO have been determined by a CO laser resonant absorption method. The fraction of the total available energy channelled into CO as vibration ~1s calculated to
