10 Bremsstrahlung radiation
A consequence of charged particle reactions is the Bremsstrahlung radiation. Literally translated, it is ‘braking radiation’. As a charged particle interacts with a medium, this radiation is emitted as the particle slows down.
A photon is emitted from interaction with the electron cloud or nucleus with the charged particle.
The moving particle loses energy and this is in the form of a photon.
Bremsstrahlung radiation is used to identify galaxy clusters.
