Abstract
I present a theory of the orientation and alignment of atoms observed upon emergence from tilted foils. The interaction with the foil surface is taken into account in the production process of particular states. Once they are produced, the evolution of these states, under the influence of the residual field near the surface, is calculated in the fashion introduced by Eck. The most general effect of this evolution is presented.Keywords
