Polarization is important for analyzing line emission in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet "Vacuum spectroscopy and its application" by A.N.Zaidel and E.Ya.Shreider [1], and also for X-rays. This paper presents experimental results for X-rays from heliumlike argon in a plasma focus discharge, and discusses how polarized X-rays might be created by directional electrons or electric/magnetic fields.
