Abstract
A partial-wave analysis for orientation parameters in atomic collision processes has been formulated by using a coordinate system with its z axis perpendicular to the collision plane. The result is interpreted in terms of the intuitive model of grazing collisions. Details are illustrated for the electron impact induced Na(32S to 32P) transition.Keywords
