Abstract

The elements of the statistical tensors describing the anisotropy of an ionic state are calculated for photoionization induced by linearly polarized light. Depending on the orbital angular momentum of the ionized subshell, there are some special photoelectron emission angles that correspond to selective population of a magnetic sublevel. We point out that, if only one magnetic substate is populated, then the elements of the statistical tensor depend only on a geometric factor that is independent of the orbital angular momentum of the photoelectron.
