We investigate theoretically the effect of metastability exchange collisions on the internal variables of 3He atoms in the 1 1S 0 ground state and in the 2 3S1 metastable state. The method used here is to derive directly the equations of motion of different atomic observables (orientation, alignment). We are thus able to rather simply theoretically describe the indirect optical pumping process of 3He. The study of the coupling between the longitudinal orientations of the different levels involved in the process leads to a description of the kinetics of the pumping process and particularly of the building time of the ground state nuclear orientation. Regarding transverse orientations, we calculate in detail the effects of coherence circulati...
