The energies and wave functions for the lowest six electronic /sup 1/..sigma../sup +/ states of the HeT/sup +/ molecule have been obtained for 0.6< or =R< or =4.0 bohr. The overlap integrals between these wave functions and those for the ground state of the T/sub 2/ molecule have been calculated. The results show that the probability of T/sub 2/ decaying into HeT/sup +/ discrete electronic states amounts to 0.852, with the lowest six states accounting for 0.8422.
