Abstract
A comparative study of the beats of circular polarization generated by anis otropic atomic collisions is carried out on the basis of theoretical calcul ations for the states J = 1, 3/2, and 2 of neon atoms and ions excited by m onochromatic laser radiation in xenon atmosphere. Contributions made by ord inary alignment and higher polarization moments (octupole orientation and d odecapole alignment) in the collisional generation of orientation and the s ignal of beatings of circular polarization are compared.
