Radiative electron capture is a time-reversed process of photoelectric e ect. When a high speed charged ion collides with a neutral target atom, the charged ion can capture an electron from the target atom. During this process, a photon may be emitted. Such a process of emission of a photon by absorbing an electron is called as radiative electron capture. The energy of the emitted photon is calculated as the sum of the kinetic energy of electron and the binding energy of the shell in which the electron is captured. The energy of emitted photon is independent of target material [1]. The phenomenon is observed for various materials such as sulfur, chlorine, bromine, etc which have energy range between 10 MeV and 140 MeV. The target material can ranges from boron to uranium and tungsten .
