Abstract
It is found that two simple dynamical relations can explain most observations of experiments on the orientation of the He 2P state induced by electron impact versus scattering angle in the process e(80 eV)+He 1 2 . In particular, by utilizing these relations and with the help of new quantum numbers, we identified a formula that can account for more than 80% of the orientation at large angles, which contains only three dynamical parameters of the form Im(S) and one other, namely, the differential cross section at 180° scattering.
