When an accelerated charged particle is shot into an electromagnetic field such that the accelerated particle comes to a complete stop in the field, we naturally have loss of energy from the charged particle. But what is this energy converted to? And where? Does the particle release radiation (photons) as it slows down and comes to a stop or does the equipment generating the electric field acquire the energy of the particle and heat up/radiate?
