Abstract
Noncharacteristic radiations in atomic and molecular collisions are examined. A new mechanism is considered in which electrons are induced to radiate collectively. The collective radiations are present even in the absence of inner-shell vacancies. The importance of this mechanism increases with collision energy and the number of electrons. The emitted photon energy increases with collision energy and can exceed the united-atom limit. The asymmetries of the noncharacteristic radiation are examined.Keywords
