Nonelectronic types of this, such as those seen in proton-proton scattering, are a poor source for photons but can yield information on the strong nuclear force. An electron with spin parallel to its velocity will emit the circularly polarized type which has been useful in the analysis of longitudinal polarization seen in beta decay. The major source of gamma rays in cosmic ray showers, this phenomenon is also the major mechanism of kinetic energy loss in electrons traveling at relativistic velocities. For ten points, name this type of radiation caused by the acceleration of an electron when deflected by another charged particle, with a name from the German for "braking radiation."
