Rate coefficients for total ionization through the processes He(2³S)+H→He(1¹S)+H⁺+e⁻, →HeH⁺+e⁻. We calculated these from the (scanned) cross sections reported in the quoted references over a range of temperatures commensurate with the range of energies at which they were reported. The calculations were performed by means of standard expressions and assumed a Maxwellian distribution for the relative velocities between the colliders. Occasionally, we extrapolated the cross sections toward low energies with a ∝E^−0.2 law (E is the center-of-mass kinetic energy) and toward high energies with a ∝E⁻¹ law.

The expression k [cm³s⁻¹]=10⁻⁹ exp(c/T + d₁ ln T + d₂(ln T)² + d₃(ln T)³) (c=−8.64804E+01; d₁=−2.86766E−01; d₂=+8.68445E−02; d₃=−5.73001E−03) fits the rate coefficient based on the Movre & Meyer (1997) cross sections with errors of <2% from 200 to 10 000 K.
