Abstract
A general density matrix theory is formulated to account for recently observed orientation and alignment effects in beam foil experiments with tilted foils. Various simplified models for the interaction between the atomic and ionic excited states and the beam surface are considered and comparison with the present experimental data leads to some direct conclusions. Further experimental tests of the proposed mechanism are suggested.
