Haven't you answered this yourself? 'Considering the energies involved', my bold below.
The charge-exchange reaction producing X-rays was not predicted by Juergens, was it?

So, answer my question: can you show us the reasoning that led you to the conclusion that Juergens' theory is relevant and should be mentioned when the explanation of the phenomenon is to be attributed?

Show us that it is relevant, or retract your claim.

So, answer the question: how is synchrotron radiation relevant to the charge-exchange reaction producing X-rays from comets?

Show us that it is relevant, or retract your claim.

The observed X-rays are produced by a specific mechanism.
Show us that EU "theories" predicted such mechanism, or retract your claim.

It is time to put up or shut up.
