Abstract
An analytical formula for the angular distribution of photoelectrons emitte d from a highly excited hydrogenic state in the weak-field limit (I less th an or equal to 10(9) W/cm(2)) is presented. With the use of this formula, r esults obtained far models involving different numbers of states are compar ed. The conclusion is that models with restricted-state basis overestimate the population redistribution among Rydberg states and its photoionization consequences.
