In more realistic scenarios, where <strong>the</strong> nuclei are not fully aligned, <strong>the</strong> angulardistribution<br />
coefficients can be written as<br />
A k (J i ,L 1 ,L 2 ,J f ) = α k (J i )A max<br />
k (J i ,L 1 ,L 2 ,J f ) , (3.17)<br />
where α k (J i ) is <strong>the</strong> <strong>at</strong>tenu<strong>at</strong>ion coefficient of <strong>the</strong> alignment. This coefficient may be<br />
represented as<br />
α k (J i ) ≡ ρ k(J i )<br />
B k (J i ) , (3.18)<br />
where ρ k (J) is a st<strong>at</strong>istical tensor defined as<br />
ρ k (J) = (2J +1) 1/2∑ m<br />

Yamazaki discusses <strong>the</strong> experimentally justifiable assumption th<strong>at</strong> partial alignment<br />
may be represented by a Gaussian of m-s<strong>at</strong>es about m = 0 characterized by a parameter<br />
σ which is <strong>the</strong> half-width of <strong>the</strong> Gaussian distribution, given by<br />
P m (J) =<br />

where σ = 0 defines <strong>the</strong> fully aligned st<strong>at</strong>e. As st<strong>at</strong>ed earlier, <strong>the</strong> nuclear m-st<strong>at</strong>es<br />
are known <strong>at</strong> each step during <strong>the</strong> RnEDM <strong>Geant4</strong> simul<strong>at</strong>ions. There<strong>for</strong>e we may<br />
describe any degree of orient<strong>at</strong>ion by explicitly inputting <strong>the</strong> m-st<strong>at</strong>e popul<strong>at</strong>ions<br />
