Bremmstrahlung in neutral atom collisions

[Getterdog]

I found an old paper online (1962) I think, stating that bremmstahlung occurs between different neutral atoms in collisions. Am I correct in assuming that this will result in frequencies outside of the usual line broadening mechanisms? Thanks

Perhaps you could give a "link" to the paper. It sounds interesting. I anticipate that the mechanisms will result in a finite (rather than zero) emissivity for a band of wavelengths, but I also anticipate, in general, the emissivity resulting from this will still be quite small.

I’m still working through the paper. The title is “bremsstrahlung in Atom atom collisions. 1985 Sov. Physics JETP.
