The alignment and orientation of Rydberg target atoms, effected by polarized-laser excitation and the use of external electric and magnetic fields, has recently allowed investigation of new effects in Rydberg-atom collisions at projectile velocities comparable to Rydberg-electron speeds. Results on capture from orbitally aligned Na(nd) targets and circular and elliptical Rydberg states of Li(n=25) will be discussed, and prospects for new alignment studies will be described.
