The dichroism in the 4f photoelectron spectra of laser-aligned Eu atoms has been determined with linearly polarized vacuum ultraviolet radiation. The experimental results disagree with the prediction of the three-parameter model based on the absolute magnitude and relative phase of the 4ftovarepsilon d,varepsilon g transition matrix elements. It is suggested that strong configuration interactions, confirmed in high-resolution photoelectron spectra, are the cause of the breakdown of the three-parameter model.
