A two-state theory is used to obtain the quenching cross sections of metastable helium ions in collision with noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe). The potentials used in the present calculation are based on information derived from the experimental scattering data by Smith et al. The results for the quenching cross sections are found to be in reasonable agreement with the recent data of Prior and Wang.
