Helium-afterglow experiments which have been interpreted in the literature in terms of dissociative recombination of He₂^_⁺ cannot be so interpreted in light of recent experimental and theoretical developments. These include the quantitative theory of collisional-radiative recombination, estimates of He₂^_⁺ vibrational relaxation times, considerations of He₂^_* (excited-state) potential curves, and rather detailed experimental results from steady-state flowing afterglow systems.
