Abstract
We have investigated the radiative electron capture process in collisi ons of electrons with metal clusters, at an electron energy sufficient for excitation of the giant collective resonance in the target cluste r. We have demonstrated that accounting for the dynamical polarizabili ty of the cluster plays an essential role giving rise to a new kind of giant resonance in the cross section for radiative capture.
