Emission of electromagnetic radiation in α-decay

The electromagnetic radiation during the non-uniform motion of the fragments resulting from the α-decay of a heavy nucleus is computed in a time-dependent quantum formalism. The dynamical characteristics of the α-particle such as position, velocity and acceleration are computed by taking average values of the position and momentum operators and next the bremsstrahlung emission is determined by resorting to the classical formula for the radiation power. The contribution of the α-particle intra-barrier motion to the total bremsstrahlung yield is evaluated and some hints are given for the case when one considers α-decay from the ground state.
