Energy loss in helicoidal movement, particularly in synchrotrons, occurs primarily due to the emission of X-rays as accelerated charges radiate energy. This phenomenon is well-documented in physics literature, with resources such as the "Radiation from Accelerated Charges" handout providing in-depth explanations. The synchrotron radiation results from the circular motion of charged particles, which leads to energy dissipation in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
