   Bremsstrahlung Radiation
   Bremsstrahlung is produced when high-speed electrons are rapidly decelerated by the electrostatic field of an atomic nucleus within a target material, often tungsten in conventional X-ray tubes. The kinetic energy lost by the electron during this deflection is radiated away as an X-ray photon. The resulting spectrum is continuous, spanning a range of energies up to the maximum kinetic energy of the incident electrons. The general …
