Measurements of the polarization of the resonance line of Al XII ions emitted from micropinch plasmas of a low-inductance vacuum spark discharge are reported. A value of 0.12 for the polarization degree is obtained. For the interpretation of the spectra a model employing nonthermal electrons is used, which, consistent with the spectral data, provides parameters of the energy spectrum and of the anisotropy. The results show that x-ray polarization spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying non-Maxwellian phenomena in hot dense plasmas.
