Abstract

We have observed the polarization of Lyman-..cap alpha.. radiation after the interaction of 70-keV protons with a thin tilted carbon foil. The circular polarization shows a sinusoidal dependence on the angle of tilt, whereas the components of linear polarization in the emitted radiation are found to be generally small. It is demonstrated that the polarization observed after the transmission through the foil at large angles of tilt extrapolates to the data obtained after the reflection of ions from the foil surface at grazing incidence.
