Description
The process of double Compton scattering, $e \gamma \to e \gamma \gamma$,
in strongly magnetized charge-asymmetric, cold electron plasma is considered.
The amplitude of the process is obtained and
selection rules for photon polarizations are found.
It is shown that in such a plasma the process of double Compton scattering will be
efficient mechanism for the production of polarized photons.
As a result, it could lead to the modification in the mechanism of
the spectra formation of SGR and AXP.
