Angular and polarization correlations in photoionization and radiative recombination

The relativistic formulation is given for the angular distribution of the electrons produced in the photoionization by linearly polarized photons and the distribution of photons of a particular polarization produced in the inverse process of radiative recombination. The electrons are treated as moving in a self-consistent Hartree-Slater central potential. Results are given for the radiative recombination onto heliumlike nickel and neonlike barium for electrons in the energy range below 100 keV.
