The effective compton cross section in a non-degenerate plasma(n≪\\frac(kT/c)2+2mkTh2\^3/2) is investigated in a wide range of temperatures. The results show a decreasing behavior with temperature especially for kT≫ mec2. The may be important in phenomena like accretion discs or ultra-relativistic blast waves in GRB models, where the emitted radiation has to pass through a medium containing high energy electrons.
