Abstract
Using a fully quantal description of the process, the radiative association rate coefficient for formation of LiH during Li++H- collisions is estimate d for temperatures between 50 and 10 000 K. The rate coefficient is at leas t five orders of magnitude larger than that for Li(2s)+H(1s) radiative asso ciation.
