While magnetized interstellar plasma is totally excluded from the heliospheric cavity, the neutral H-component is also partially excluded via charge-exchange interactions with the plasma. Modelling the interaction as a scattering process and using solar system H and He data leads to an ionization fraction 27±10% and a neutral H-density 0.08±0.01 cm-3 in the local interstellar medium.
