Abstract :
Influence of spin-polarization effects on the intensity of synchrotron emission from magnetized electron-positron plasma is discussed. In the plasma generated by pair production spin states have polarization-dependent spin bias, whereas in the case of thermodynamical preparation of spin states they are equally populated. It is shown, that radiation intensities from polarized and unpolarized particles are appreciably different.
