Abstract
We calculate the time evolution of a distribution function for a photo n gas interacting with free electrons in a strong magnetic field. Nume rical solutions of the kinetic equation are presented including the po ssibility of a Bose condensation if absorption processes are neglected ; the structure of the final equilibrium solution is discussed. Only i f the average photon energy is above the cyclotron energy does the pho ton redistribution show a completely different dependence compared to the nonmagnetic case, due to the resonant scattering process.
