Abstract

Cross sections and rate coefficients have been calculated forthe rotational excitation of CO by ground state ortho- andpara-H2. The quantum-mechanical-coupled-channels method wasused, without significant approximations other than the finitesize of the basis sets. For collisions with ortho-H2,rotational levels of CO j⩽20 were included, and j⩽29for collisions with para-H2. Comparison is made with recentcalculations by Mengel et al (2001 Can. J. Phys. at press).
