We have measured the ratio of differential cross sections for the production of doubly and singly ionized He by fast protons at energies between 4 and 10 MeV. The ratio was measured as a function of proton scattering angle, from which the energy transfer was calculated using binary kinematics. The ratio is found to be near 1.25{percent}, nearly independent of either proton energy or energy transfer. This value is lower than that reported previously for a similar experiment, but in good agreement with recent Compton scattering and theoretical results. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
