Special reduction formulae for bipolar harmonics with higher ranks of internal spherical functions are derived, which will be useful in problems involving multiple expansions in spherical functions. Together with irreducible tensor operator techniques these results provide a new and effective approach, which enables one to extract the geometrical and dynamical factors from the cross sections of atomic processes with polarized particles with an accurate account of all the polarization effects. The angular distribution of polarized electrons and the circular dichroism in photoionization of polarized atoms with an arbitrary angular momentum are presented in an invariant vector form. A specific circular dichroism, which is caused by the correlation of electron and atom orientations, is discussed. The angular distribution of escaping electrons in double photoionization of unpolarized atom is presented in a simple form. A convenient parametrization is proposed for describing the dependence of the photoprocess cross sections on the polarization state of the photon beam.
