Radiation vs Beamstrahlung - What's the difference?
radiation | beamstrahlung |
The shooting forth of anything from a point or surface, like the diverging rays of light; as, the radiation of heat.
The process of radiating waves or particles.
The transfer of energy via radiation (as opposed to convection or conduction).
Radioactive energy.
(physics) The radiation from one beam of charged particles in a storage ring or linear collider caused by its interaction with the electromagnetic field of the other beam. Coined by J. Rees in 1978. "Limitations on Performance of e+ e- Storage Rings and
Linear Colliding Beam Systems at High Energy," http://www.slac.stanford.edu/econf/C781015/pdf/009.pdf
