Radiation that is emitted when a free electron is deflected by an ion, but the free electron is not captured by the ion. Generally, it is a type of radiation emitted when high energy electrons are accelerated. (German for braking radiation)
Electromagnetic radiation generated when high-energy, charged particles rapidly decelerate during impact with a target.
3/4 (Literally: braking radiation). Electromagnetic radiation produced when an electrically charged particle, such as an electron, is slowed down by the electric field of an atomic nucleus.
the process by which a beta particle emits an x ray photon during its interaction with an atomic nucleus
A German term that means "braking rays." It is an important phenomenon in the generation of X-rays. In this process, a high speed electron traveling in a material is slowed or completely stopped by the forces of any atom it encounters.
Radiation produced by the sudden deceleration of an electrically charged particle when passing through an intense electrical field.
A phrase derived from the German language, it literally means "braking radiation". When a charged particle (generally referring to beta particles) passes close to a nucleus, a change in the velocity of the particle will cause a loss of particle energy by electromagnetic radiation. The bremsstrahlung photons have a continuous spectrum of energy distribution below the maximum kinetic energy of the charged particle. The likelihood of bremsstrahlung production increases with the atomic number of the absorbing material. Therefore, only low Z materials are used for protection against beta radiation.
X-rays produced by the deceleration of charged particles passing through matter.
The German word `Bremsstrahlung' means `braking radiation'. A fast, charged particle, for example an electron, is slowed down when it passes through matter. The energy lost by the particle is emitted as electromagnetic radiation, or Bremsstrahlung.
electromagnetic (x-ray) radiation produced by the deposition of charged particles in matter. Secondary photon radiation (x-ray) produced by the deceleration of charged particles through matter.
X-rays produced when fast electrons pass through matter. The bremsstrahlung (German for "slowing-down radiation") energy varies from 0 to the energy of the electron.
German for braking radiation. It is incidental photon radiation caused by the deceleration of charged particles passing through matter.
Electromagnetic radiation resulting from the acceleration or deceleration of subatomic particles such as electrons when they interact with matter; often applied to the continuous part of the x-ray spectrum produced when high-energy electrons bombard a material. Bremsstrahlung is German for "braking radiation." In cosmic ray shower production, bremsstrahlung gives rise to emission of gamma rays as electrons encounter atmospheric nuclei.
German bremsen, to brake and Strahlung, radiation, thus, "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation"), is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle, such as an electron, when deflected by another charged particle, such as an atomic nucleus. The term is also used to refer to the process of producing the radiation. Bremsstrahlung has a continuous spectrum.
