Abstract: The information theoretic surprisal analysis is employed to characterise the recent quantal close-coupling computations of rotational excitation rates by Green. The analysis is based on comparing the actual rates to the priors k0 which depend only on the temperature and the reduced “energy defect” ΔER/kT. The surprisal representation of the computed rates as k=k0 x exp (-I0 - θR‖ΔER‖/kT is accurate throughout the temperature range considered by Green and is found to reduce in the low and high temperature limits to functional forms previously employed to characterise the rotational energy transfer rates in H2.
