Abstract
We calculate double-differential cross sections for energetic photon production in intermediate energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The production mechanism is assumed to be either that of collective bremsstrahlung or that of electromagnetic transitions between time-dependent single-particle states as emerging from a self-consistent treatment of the heavy-ion dynamics in the one-body limit (TDHF). Effects from residual nucleon-nucleon collisions on the collective current are further taken into account via a relaxation ansatz for the single-particle occupation numbers. The total yields for energetic photon production above 50 MeV in the simple limit considered indicate that up to 10% of the experimental cross sections can be attributed to collective bremsstrahlung and electromagnetic transitions.
