bremsstrahlung comparison table

Subject has definition

inner bremsstrahlung The continuous electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the β-decay of nuclei.

supra-thermal proton bremsstrahlung Ordinary electron-proton bremsstrahlung viewed from the rest frame of the electron rather than the proton; in other words, the electron is at rest and the heavy particle (proton) is moving.

thermal bremsstrahlung A mode of X-ray production by very energetic electrons accelerated in the field of a positive ion.
