The polarization properties of the bremsstrahiung arising when a polarized electron beam strikes a target are considered. It is shown that in this case the bremsstrahlung contains a circularly polarized component. For highly relativistic electrons which are completely polarized in the direction of motion, the circular polarization near the upper limit of the spectrum amounts to as much as 25%; multiple scattering of electrons in the target has practically no effect on this value. Equations have been derived for the polarization of bremsstrahlung photons produced by electrons of arbitrary energy. (auth)
