Polarized fluorescence by the electron impact excitation of atoms

Polarized radiation emitted by electron impact excited atoms carries information about the anisotropic population of the magnetic sublevels. An overview of the theory necessary to describe the time evolution of an electron impact excited atom, and therefore the emitted radiation, is presented and ap...
