Why is there an energy loss in helicoidal movement?

Hello, I was just wondering why is there an energy loss in helicoidal movement, specially in syncrotons. I know that there is energy loss because there is a production of X-rays, why this happens?

That is a good place to start. Follows me of the links for deeper explanations.

Already been there but I would like a more physical explanation.

Here's a really good physical explanation of why accelerated charges radiate energy (among other things)
