The very moment two electrical currents slam together to form a lightning bolt has been captured, revealing for the first time the role this process plays in generating powerful gamma rays right ...

This produces Bremsstrahlung radiation – breaking braking X-rays – that can be directed to film or an X-ray intensifier screen that fluoresces in visible light when being struck by X-rays.

Data from the International Space Station confirms: Lightning is insane Gamma rays, an electromagnetic pulse, and a huge UV halo, all in less than a second.

The material quickly slows down the electrons, and the particles emit X-rays in response, a process known as Bremsstrahlung radiation.

We’re not completely clear to us how this creates X-rays, but it appears to do so given the distinctive glow given off by an intensifying screen harvested from an old medical X-ray film cassette.

Broadband bremsstrahlung X-rays (white) from this primary target pass through a beryllium window that seals the vacuum enclosure and interact with the conical secondary metal target, producing ...

They describe it happening like this: bremsstrahlung gamma rays smashed into atoms in the atmosphere like carbon and nitrogen, breaking off subatomic particles from their nuclei and transforming ...

This is called bremsstrahlung radiation. "During a winter thunderstorm in Kanazawa, our monitors detected a simultaneous TGF and lightning strike.

Tsuchiya says that bremsstrahlung at MeV energies would be focused into a beam that only illuminates a small area on the ground, which could explain why so few long-duration pulses have been seen. The ...

Spectre Folk, Pete Nolan’s collaborative project, will release their new album Vol. 4 in early June. Spectre Folk’s lineup on this album includes Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley, Pavement and ...
