The density matrix describing excitation of the n=2 and n=3 levels of atomic hydrogen under proton impact is calculated, both in the first Born approximation and in a close-coupling expansion in target eigenstates. Various ways in which the properties of the excited state can be characterized in terms of certain linear combinations of density matrix elements are discussed. A new characterisation, based on an extrapolation below threshold of parameters describing the angular distribution of low-velocity ionised electrons, is suggested.
