Alpha particle. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus. They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.
Alpha particles have the same composition of the nucleus of a helium atom. Beta particles are either positrons or electrons. Both of these particle types are very important in the said fields.his structure is identically similar to the nucleus of a helium atom. Therefore, alpha particles can also be denoted as He 2+ . The net spin of an alpha particle is zero. All nuclear radiation has a property called penetration power, which describes how deep a particle can get inside a specified solid.
