Gamma emission of nuclear energy scale (∼ 3MeV), caused by electron transitions in anomalous wells, is predicted to occur in acoustic experiments with solids. The anomalous well for electrons is formed by a local reduction of electromagnetic zero point energy in a vicinity of a nucleus which can be a lattice site of a solid [1]. The well width is ∼ 10-11cm and the well depth is ∼ 3MeV. An energy spectrum in anomalous wells is continuous and non-decaying. Unusual experimental results, on unexpected emission from lead of ∼ 1keV x-rays under acoustic pulses, are likely explained by formation of anomalous wells [2]. The experimentally observed keV quanta are naturally supplemented by MeV emission to be revealed. This conclusion is drawn on the basis of an exact solution within a model generic with quantum electrodynamics. An energy of emitted quanta (x-rays and gamma) comes from a reduction of electromagnetic zero point energy (energy from "nothing").
