Ionizing photon radiation is classified into four categories:
Characteristic x ray
Results from electronic transitions between atomic shells.
Bremsstrahlung
Results mainly from electron-nucleus Coulomb interactions.
Gamma ray
Results from nuclear transitions.
Annihilation quantum (annihilation radiation)
Results from positron-electron annihilation.
