Abstract
We investigated alignment in magnetic sub-level populations of excited atomic hydrogen formed by single-electron capture from a W surface. The alignment and liner polarization degrees of electric-dipole photons are calculated at various translation velocities of the excited H atoms above the surface. Negative polarization degrees are obtained for 2p-1s and 3d-2p lines from the excited H atoms receding along surface normal at velocities smaller than the Bohr velocity.
