We present a full quantum-mechanical calculation of the electron capture to
the continuum (ECC) cusp at non-0$^\circ$ electron emission angles. The
target ionization cross section triply differential in the energy and angle
of the emitted electron and the angle of the scattered projectile is
evaluated and compared with recent experimental data by Sarkadi {\it et
al.} for 75 keV protons scattered by Ar at 3.7$^\circ$, 5.0$^\circ$ and
8.1$^\circ$. The present theory accounts reasonably well for the shape of
the observed ECC peak.
