Description

Recent experimental and theoretical studies of alignment, orientation and dipole moments of excited states formed in atomic collisions for simple systems are reviewed. We also review the studies of the dependence of electron capture cross sections on the magnetic quantum numbers of the initial target states. The propensity rule involving the magnetic quantum numbers in atomic collisions is also examined. (orig.)
