Abstract
Absolute differential cross sections of non-characteristic radiation emitted in energetic heavy-ion collisions (E P =3.92–48 MeV,Z=11–22) can only be explained in the framework of quasimolecular radiation. All other processes, particularly bremsstrahlung mechanisms are found to be negligible. For high projectile and photon energies the one-step quasimolecular radiation is dominant in solid targets, whereas the two-step process contributes mainly at low projectile and photon energies.
