Hydrogenic ions penetrating a crystal are perturbed by the frequency w
ith which they pass atoms lying in rows or ordered planes. This freque
ncy, when resonant, can cause excitation of the ion with subsequent co
llisional ionization or radiative relaxation following escape from the
crystal. The various possible m states being non-degenerate in the ch
annel are separable. The associated alignment is observed in both the
separate ionization probabilities and X-ray anisotropy.
