AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">A mathematical rate equation model using a Monte Carlo simulation has 
been used to analyze the laser optogalvanic signals of neon waveforms 
excited at 638.3 nm and 650.7 nm and arising from the $1s_{4}$ state 
transitioning to $2p_{7}$ and $2p_{8}$ states, respectively. The decay rates have been determined for the directly involved $1s_{4}$ 
state and also for the indirectly involved $1s_{2}$ and $1s_{5}$ states. There is good agreement among the decay rate constants found and they show a 
predominantly linear variation with increasing current.</p>
