Abstract
We calculate the cross section for two-photon bremsstrahlung emission in the collision of keV electrons with noble gas atoms. In addition to bremsstrahlung from the projectile the two-photon bremsstrahlung emis sion arising from target electron excitation during the collision is t aken into account explicitly. Such contributions tum out to be small, however, and do not explain the large discrepancy between previous cal culations and the measurements of Hippler.
