bremsstrahlung
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.
