Abstract
We present initial-state selective fully differential cross sections for ionization of lithium by 24 MeV impact. The data for ionization from the and states look qualitatively different from each other and from ionization of He. For ionization from the state, to which in our study the substate predominantly contributes, we observe orientational dichroism and for ionization pronounced interference which we trace back to the nodal structure of the initial-state wave function.
