Survival probabilities for interstellar hydrogen flowing into the interplanetary system from far regions of the heliosphereThe expressions for 'survival' probabilities are presented for an atomic hydrogen particle moving on a trajectory from far regions of the heliosphere to the vicinity of the sun. Three 'destroying' processes have been considered; photoionization, charge transfer and electron ionization. The solar wind has been assumed to be a two-flux steady stream radially expanding with constant flow velocity. Recent profiles of solar-wind electron temperature have been used. The results can be useful for theoretical analyses as well as for analysis of spaceflight observations.
