Abstract
Polarization measurements have been performed on radiation emitted by ions (468.6 nm) in transmission (beam foil) and reflection (grazing incidence) geometries, with use of both carbon foil and silicon single-crystal targets. Comparison of the results of the two geometries and the two different targets indicates that the excited-state formation occurs at the exit surface. The impact of these results on current theories is discussed.
