Abstract
The emission of neutral halogen atoms from alkali halide crystals in [211] directions is explained in terms of defocusing of the usual [110] momentum produced by ionization and a short sequence of momentum transfers to a surface halogen. No replacement sequences are involved in the process.Keywords
