Abstract :
The generation of intense electron beams during the formation of “hot-spots” within a dense magnetized plasma of PF-type discharges has been confirmed by reproducible experiments. Recently discovered phenomenon of the polarization of X-rays emitted from the hot-spots seems to be strongly coupled with the emission of the intense electron beams. This paper presents results of recent experimental studies of the phenomenon in question and some mutual relations
