  2. Bremsstrahlung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremsstrahlung

    Bremsstrahlung produced by a high-energy electron deflected in the electric field of an atomic nucleus. In particle physics, bremsstrahlung / ˈ b r ɛ m ʃ t r ɑː l ə ŋ / [1] (German pronunciation: [ˈbʁɛms.ʃtʁaːlʊŋ] ⓘ; from German bremsen 'to brake' and Strahlung 'radiation') is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by ...

  3. Solar radio emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radio_emission

    Bremsstrahlung emission, from the German "braking radiation", refers to electromagnetic waves produced when a charged particle accelerates and some of its kinetic energy is converted into radiation. [15] Thermal bremsstrahlung refers to radiation from a plasma in thermal equilibrium and is primarily driven by Coulomb collisions where an ...

  4. Synchrotron radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchrotron_radiation

    Synchrotron radiation (also known as magnetobremsstrahlung radiation) is the electromagnetic radiation emitted when relativistic charged particles are subject to an acceleration perpendicular to their velocity (a ⊥ v). It is produced artificially in some types of particle accelerators or naturally by fast electrons moving through magnetic fields.

  5. Aneutronic fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion

    This energy results from the acceleration and deceleration of charged particles. These speed changes can be caused by bremsstrahlung radiation, cyclotron radiation, synchrotron radiation, or electric field interactions. The radiation can be estimated using the Larmor formula and comes in the X-ray, UV, visible, and IR spectra. Some of the ...

  6. Sonoluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence

    Electrons from ionized atoms interact mainly with neutral atoms, causing thermal bremsstrahlung radiation. As the wave hits a low energy trough, the pressure drops, allowing electrons to recombine with atoms and light emission to cease due to this lack of free electrons. This makes for a 160-picosecond light pulse for argon (even a small drop ...

  7. Kramers' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramers'_law

    Kramers' law. Kramers' law is a formula for the spectral distribution of X-rays produced by an electron hitting a solid target. The formula concerns only bremsstrahlung radiation, not the element specific characteristic radiation. It is named after its discoverer, the Dutch physicist Hendrik Anthony Kramers. [1]

  8. Beamstrahlung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamstrahlung

    Beamstrahlung. Beamstrahlung (from beam + bremsstrahlung ) is the radiation from one beam of charged particles in storage rings, linear or circular colliders, namely the synchrotron radiation emitted due to the electromagnetic field of the opposing beam. [ 1][ 2] Coined by J. Rees in 1978. [ 3]

  9. Mechanism of sonoluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_sonoluminescence

    The thermal energy that is released from the bubble collapse is so great that it can cause weak light emission. [1] The mechanism of the light emission remains uncertain, but some of the current theories, which are categorized under either thermal or electrical processes, are Bremsstrahlung radiation, argon rectification hypothesis, [ 2 ] and ...
