The effect of a superstrong magnetic field of 10 13 G on Compton scattering for thermal photons with electrons is studied by the method of quantum field theory. The Stokes parameters for the scattered photon are computed explicitly in terms of the state of polarization of the incident wave, the electron-cyclotron frequency, the angle of incidence and the angle of scattering. In the...
