Cross sections and rate coefficients for sulfur monoxide (SO) + H collisions are calculated using a full six-dimensional (6D) potential energy surface (PES). The coupled states (CS) approximation is used to compute fine-structure resolved cross sections for rovibrational transitions between states with v = 0-2, where v is the vibrational quantum number of the SO molecule. The CS calculations for Δv = 1 are benchmarked against close-coupling (CC) results for spin-free interactions.
