1) electron: "The basic production of X-rays is by accelerating electrons in order to collide with a metal target."

X-rays are electromagnetic rays with a wavelength around 0.1 nanometre. They are produced by electrons striking a metal plate in a special vacuum tube (basically, a thwacking great diode with a hollow, water-cooled anode).

They are produced due to High speed photons hit neutrons. As a result radiation produces which are called as gamma rays.
