alpha particle

In high doses, alpha particles destroy the body's tissues and organs, but, when used in a carefully targeted and controlled way, they can also wipe out cancer.

0 MeV, which corresponds well to the actual alpha particles binding energy (28.

Alpha particles are known to cause chromosomal damage to the tissue that lines the lungs.

this is done by special filters for absorbing radon inside the counter machine and the alpha particles emitted from it are counted by ionization chamber in counter machine.

On Earth, creating high-energy alpha particles or X-rays can take room-sized pieces of equipment.

These random errors are functional errors resulting from strikes by energetic ions such as neutrons and alpha particles.

210]Po through the digestive tract may increase sharply (Moroz and Parfenov 1972), possibly because of damage to the intestinal wall through persistent bombardment by alpha particles.

If you had three cookies-one that emits alpha particles, one that emits beta particles, and one that emits gamma rays-which one would you eat, which would you hold, and which would you put in your pocket?

Unlike conventional radiation therapy, which bombards the body with gamma rays from outside, the alpha particles "diffuse inside the tumor, spreading further and further before disintegrating," a university statement quoted Keisari as saying.

The highest peak on the plot is a result of the XASW interaction with the alpha particles oscillating at the first cyclotron harmonic of helium.

Alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays emerged as the prime carriers of radioactivity's energy.

When ionizing radiation - either alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons or gamma rays enter the tube, they hit the atoms of the gas and release electrons, which hit other atoms of gas and release more of them.

Although radioactive alpha particles believed to be from the plant were detected in Tokyo, about 200 km away, there is little possibility -- even in a worse-case scenario -- that human health would be at risk in places more than 30 km from the plant.

When alpha particles interact with an object, the energy in them is absorbed by the surface of the object.
