Abstract
The collisional-radiative recombination and ionization coefficients have been calculated for hydrogen plasmas of low ionization degree. The method consists in solving a coupled system of rate equations which not only accounts for the electronic but also for the atomic collision processes.

The numerical values of the recombination and ionization coefficients may be found in a special report, see Ref.4.
I thank Miss F.Emard for having written the computer programme. The numerical calculations have been carried out on the IBM computer 360/50 at the Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires in Fontenay-aux-Roses.
