Measurements of the relative magnetic-substate population of differentially scattered H(2p. atoms formed in 4-, 5-, and 8-keV proton-helium collisions have been made using polarized-photon--scattered-particle coincidence techniques. The relative phases of the scattering amplitudes were also determined. It was found that the differential cross sections for the magnetic substates m/sub l/ = 0 and m/sub l/ = +- 1 were of comparable magnitude indicating that translational and rotational coupling play equally important roles in the excitation process. The average measured phase difference was found to be Vertical Bar45X(deVertical Bar).
