This work considers the possible role of nonadiabatic effects in the collisional quenching of He(2 /sup 3//ital S/). The electronic structure aspects of a nonadiabatic-radiative decay mechanism are analyzed. In this mechanism the /ital a/ /sup 3/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital u// state is coupled by relativistic, rotational, and radiative interactions to the /ital A/ /sup 1/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital u// state which serves as a gateway to the /ital X/ /sup 1/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital g// (electronically quenched) state of He/sub 2/ through the spin-allowed dipole-allowed bound--free transition /ital A/ /sup 1/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital u// /r arrow//ital X/ /sup 1/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital g//. State averaged MCSCF/second-order CI wave functions for the ground /ital X/ /sup 1/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital g// state, and the excited, /ital a/ /sup 3/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital u//, /ital A/ /sup 1/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital u//, /ital b/ /sup 3//Pi//sub /ital g//, /ital B/ /sup 1//Pi//sub /ital g//, /ital c/ /sup 3/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital g//, and /ital C/ /sup 1/..sigma../sup +//sub /ital g// states (referred to here as the primary space) of He/sub 2/ were determined.
