Abstract
It is shown that the radiative electron capture to continuum in energetic collisions with fast heavy projectiles also leads to a binary-encounter type peak in the high-energy electron spectrum. In contrast to the nonradiative target ionization this peak results from a higher-order process, involving near-elastic scattering, and its shape is different from the target Compton profile. Numerical results within the impulse approximation are presented for 30 MeV/amu Kr 36+ + H collisions, and the dependence of the peak on collision velocity, target binding and electron emission angle is discussed.
