  Efforts are underway to magnetically confine electron--positron pair plasmas
to study their unique behavior, which is characterized by significant changes
in plasma time and length scales, supported waves, and unstable modes. However,
use of conventional plasma diagnostics presents challenges with these
low-density and annihilating matter-antimatter plasma. To address this problem,
we propose to develop techniques based on the distinct emission provided by
annihilation. This emission exhibits two spatial correlations: the distance
attenuation of isotropic sources and the back-to-back propagation of
momentum-preserving 2-$\gamma$ annihilation. We present the results of our
analysis of the $\gamma$ emission rate and the spatial profile of the
annihilation in a magnetized pair plasma from direct pair collisions, from the
formation and decay of positronium, as well as from transport processes. In
order to demonstrate the effectiveness of annihilation-based techniques, we
tested them on annular $\gamma$ emission profiles produced by a $\beta^+$
radioisotope on a rotating turntable. Direct and positronium-mediated
annihilation result in overlapping volumetric $\gamma$ sources, and the
2-$\gamma$ emission from these volumetric sources can be tomographically
reconstructed from coincident counts in multiple detectors. Transport processes
result in localized annihilation where field lines intersect walls, limiters,
or internal magnets. These localized sources can be identified by the
fractional $\gamma$ counts on spatially distributed detectors.
