Abstract
The general theory of electron-photon coincidence experiments for elec tron impact ionization plus simultaneous excitation is developed. Orie ntation and alignment parameters are defined and related to the angula r distribution and polarization of the light emitted by the residual i on. As a first guide to experimentalists in this field, we present res ults for ionization of helium atoms, as calculated within a combined D WBA + R-matrix method.
