Bremsstrahlung is easier to understand
using the classical idea that radiation is emitted when the velocity of the
electron shot at the tungsten changes. This electron slows down after swinging around
the nucleus of a tungsten atom and loses energy by radiating x-rays. In the
quantum picture, a lot of photons of different wavelengths are produced, but
none of the photons has more energy than the electron had to begin with. After
emitting the spectrum of x-ray radiation the original electron is slowed down
or stopped.
Tungsten alloy is a favorable material for
radiation shielding, for more details, you could visit: http://www.tungsten-alloy.com/X-ray-target-collimator.htm
