The motion of a charged structureless particle in a constant homogeneous magnetic field when scattered by a fixed system of charges such as a nucleus is investigated theoretically. The nucleus is characterized in terms of electric multipole moments; the matrix elements of any multipole operator are described by an analytical expression and a recurrence rule; and it is demonstrated that multipoles higher than zero cause target reorientations. Coulomb excitation rates are determined and shown to agree with the direct field-free results in the zero-field limit. Brief consideration is given to the implications of these findings for theoretical models of scattering in laboratory experiments and in astrophysical environments such as white dwarfs or neutron stars.
