Abstract
The alignment of the 5p(4)6p levels after the decay of the Xe I 4d(5/2)(9)6 p(J = 1) resonance was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The a ngular distribution of the visible fluorescence radiation was used to measu re the alignment. To calculate the measured quantities the multi-step model was applied, taking account of the relativistic effects within the Paul-Fo ck approximation. The influence of the cascade effects on the population of the 5p(4)6p levels was estimated.
