For simplicity the proton (p) is assumed to be at rest. At the closest approach, the acceleration $\vec a_{\rm e}\tau$ moves the electron closer to the proton and the electron loses kinetic energy.

The total emissivity is plotted as a solid line, the contribution of electrons as a dotted line and the proton contribution as a dash-dotted line. Note the different relative contributions of proton and electron bremsstrahlung for the same proton temperature, but different electron temperature.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[angle=-90,width=8cm,clip]{6245fig3.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 3: Electron-proton Bremsstrahlung emissivity of a optically thin gas for different electron temperatures at a proton temperature of $T_{\rm p}=10^{12}$ K. For electron temperatures lower than $m_{\rm e}/m_{\rm p}T_{\rm p}\approx 5.4\times 10^8$ K the contributions of the protons dominate (then the electron-proton bremsstrahlung rate is essentially independent of the electron temperature), while for larger electron temperatures the classical result is reproduced. The long-dashed lines indicate the limiting cases calculated in Eqs. (14) and (15), respectively, while the short-dashed line gives the electron-electron Bremsstrahlung rate of Svensson (1982). Note that for electron temperatures in excess of approx. $3\times 10^9$ K the electrons are relativistic and the plotted bremsstrahlung rate may be a very crude approximation in this regime.
