Angular analysis of bremsstrahlung in alpha decay
read the original abstract
A new quantum electrodynamical method of calculations of bremsstrahlung spectra in the $\alpha$-decay of heavy nuclei taking into account the angle between the directions of $\alpha$-particle motion (or its tunneling) and photon emission is presented. The angular bremsstrahlung spectra for $^{210}{Po}$ have been obtained for the first time. According to calculations, the bremsstrahlung in the $\alpha$-decay of this nucleus depends extremely weakly on the angle. Taking into account nuclear forces, such dependence is not changed visibly. An analytical formula of the angular dependence of the bremsstrahlung spectra is proposed and gives its harmonic behavior. The extremal values of the angle, at which the bremsstrahlung has maximal and minimal values, has been found.

Search of cluster structure in nuclei via analysis of bremsstrahlung emission
A bremsstrahlung model with coherent, incoherent, and new inelastic mechanisms is fitted to alpha-nucleus data and used to extract an amplitude whose maxima are interpreted as signatures of compact nuclear clusters.
