The nascent transient linewidths of the CO2 00'1, J-+OO"2, J-1 transitions were measured immediately following collisions with hot H and D atoms of 2.30 and 2.16 eV energy, respectively. All lineshapes were well fitted by Gaussian profiles, but were significantly broader than the room-temperature Do
