The density-shifting of vibration--rotation transitions of H/sub 2/ perturbed by He was computed (as a function of temperature) with no adjustable parameters. The calculation was carried out using the framework of the impact theory of Baranger with S-matrix elements obtained via close-coupling calculations which incorporated the ab initio H/sub 2/--He system potential of Tsapline, Kutzelnigg, Raczkowski, and Lester (Chem. Phys. Lett. 47, 45 (1977)). Vibrational and rotational inelasticity were neglected in the calculations; nevertheless good agreement with experimental data was obtained, up to moderate temperatures, for the density shift. A much poorer comparison was obtained for the density broadening.
