Abstract: | We have carried out a theoretical analysis of the anisotropy of magnetic quenching of positronium states in noncubic crystals oriented relative to the direction of the external magnetic field. We show that an initial polarization of the positrons amplifies the anisotropy of magnetic quenching of positronium and lowers the magnitude of the magnetic field in which the anisotropy is maximum. We have obtained numerical estimates of the magnitude of the experimentally observed effect for quasipositronium in a single crystal of crystalline quartz and for a positronium complex in a single crystal of naphthalene.
