Homework Statement
When a particle is accelerated toward another particle it is giving off electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma waves. After a particle is annihilated, pions are transferred between the particles which turn into gamma waves which decay into (for example) an electron and positron. is this true? If this is not true, what really happens? My real question is, is the electromagnetic radiation of accelerated particles in any way related to the photon that is released after a collision between them? As in is that the energy that is used to create the particles? Where does the extra energy come from that is not the sum of the two particles' rest mass?
