I think yes to particle beams and railguns, no to mesons and microwaves (for obvious reasons). I believe I tested both others at some distant time in the past but not in the current version (probably 6.3 or so).

Ooooh, that's good to know. Does it work with other beam weapons?

I've done it in my recent game in 7.10 so it is definitely a thing.

Really? I don't think you can target ground units with lasers either (you can target PDC though methink). I need to test this.

I've gotten population surrenders from shooting lasers before. I think technically I shot at the ground forces contact and the overkill amount of lasers I had caused the population to surrender too, but still...

You can't shoot beam weapons at population, so it has to be nukes if you want to force their surrender that way.

I know that you can shoot missiles (or beam weapons if the atmosphere is less than 1 atm, or mesons at any planet) at planets and make them surrender. I'm looking for the formulas/exact information about how much bombardment it takes to make a planet surrender.
