Abstract
An expression is found for the intensity of noncoherent radiation of a collisionless optically thin plasma on the basis of an equation for the distribution function of the particles and the electromagnetic field oscillators derived from a chain of Bogolyubov equations. This radiation is produced by the action of external fields and the average forces of collective interaction. The expression obtained is used to calculate the radiation intensity of a Bennet pinch.
