Abstract
Using linearly polarized laser and synchrotron radiation for the inves tigation of the autoionizing resonances Na I = 2p(5)3s3p we found for one of these resonances (2p(5)(3s3p(3)P)P-2(3/2) at 31.5 eV) a strong perturbation in the angular distribution of the photoelectrons. We exp lain this effect by the loss of electronic alignment due to the hyperf ine coupling with the nuclear spin during the autoionization process.
