An ab initio potential surface was obtained for the HCO(+)-H2 interaction, using Configuration Interaction for part of the surface. The computed potential surface was used to calculate the collisional cross-sections and rate coefficients for a range of temperatures (0-30 K) and between all rotational levels up to and including j = 4. Only collisions with para-H2 were treated, but the surface may easily be extended to include the terms required for collisions with ortho-H2. The effects of different sets of rate coefficients on predicted spectral line intensities were examined.
