Rate coefficients for the reactive processes of ortho-para conversion in which the j = 0 rotational level of molecular hydrogen is excited to the j = 1 and j = 3 level by impacts with hydrogen atoms are calculated for temperatures between 30 K and 1000 K using a fully converged complete close-coupled method. Rate coefficients are also obtained for the excitation from the j = 0 to the j = 2 rotational level and from the j = 1 to the j = 3 rotational level. The interference between the direct and reactive channels is taken into account as is the geometric phase resulting from the adiabatic separation of electronic and nuclear motion that generates the potential energy surface. Convenient analytic representations of the rate coefficients are presented.
