In neutron radiative [beta]-decay, bremsstrahlung from either charged particle can occur, and radiation can be emitted from the effective weak vertex. This is referred to as Bremsstrahlung (from German, meaning "breaking radiation"), an electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle changes its velocity due to such an interaction. Such high-energy photons are typically the result of bremsstrahlung, a process that takes its name from the German words for "braking radiation. |
