Experimentally observed X-ray and neutron emissions by acoustic perturbations of liquids and solids look paradoxical. All acoustically driven effects are extremely adiabatic with respect to typical times ℏ/1keV∼ 10-18s for X-ray and ℏ/1MeV∼ 10-21s for neutron processes. A direct application of this mechanism would result in negligible (exponentially small) emission probabilities. As argued in this paper, high energy process of X-ray and neutron emissions are caused by electron transitions in deep (∼ 1MeV) and narrow (∼ 10-11cm) anomalous well created by the local reduction of electromagnetic zero point energy. The formation of anomalous states cannot be described solely by quantum electrodynamics since the mechanism of electron mass generation is involved.
