Subject:	He-H2 surface; He basis functions

 Dear fellow computational chemists:

  We are interested in studying the molecular dynamics of
  the He-H2 system for comparison with the H-H2 system.
  We would like to have the most accurate, up-to-date
  analytical He-H2 potential energy surface available, and
  we would like to compute some ab initio points to test
  the accuracy of He-H2 surface.

  Does anyone know of a more recent or more accurate
  surface than the one described by Wilson, Kapral
  and Burns in 1974?
  (Potential energy surface for the Hydrogen Molecule-Helium
   system; C.W.Wilson Jr., R.Kapral, G.Burns;
   Chem.Phys.Lett. 24 488 1974)

  We are also looking for a bigger (and hopefully better)
  set of Gaussian basis functions for the He atom.
  (We already have a good set of basis functions for the
   H2 molecule.)  We are hoping for a set containing roughly
  20 to 40 elementary basis functions (e.g. 5s3p1d to 10s6p2d);
  a larger basis set would be even better, provided it contains
  contraction coefficients, such that it can be contracted
  to the desired size. Can anyone point us to a reference which
  contains such a set of basis functions?
  
  Thanks in advance for any and all help.

                          ... Bill
