Abstract
The simplified scaling of the orbital upper critical field, , for an isotropic -wave superconductor is introduced. To facilitate the analysis of the experimental data, we suggest a simple but accurate approximation of the Helfand-Werthamer upper critical field in the entire temperature range valid for any transport scattering rate: .
