Alpha particle (symbol a) A positively charged particle emitted by certain radioactive materials it is made up of two neutrons and two protons bound together, thus, it is identical to a helium atom. It is the least penetrating of the three most common types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma) emitted by a radioactive material and can be stopped, for example, by a sheet of paper. It is not dangerous to... [Pg.249]

Beta particle (symbol 3) An elementary particle emitted from a nucleus during radioactive decay, with a single electrical charge and mass equal to 1/1,837 that of a proton. A negatively charged beta particle is identical to an electron. A positively charged beta particle is called a positron. Beta radiation can cause burns, and beta emitters are... [Pg.250]

Alpha emission An alpha particle (symbol He or 20 ) corresponds to the nucleus of a helium atom (having two protons and two neutrons) that is spontaneously emitted by a nuclear breakdown or decay. The a-particles are of low energy and therefore low penetrating (a lab coat is sufficient to block their penetration) but dangerous if inhaled or ingested. [Pg.126]

Beta emission A beta particle (symbol °.i/3 or -i/3) is an electron released with high speed by a radioactive nucleus in which neutrons (in excess) are converted into protons and electrons (i.e., (3-particles). The /3-particles are medium-penetrating radiation requiring dense material and several layers of clothing to block their penetration. They are dangerous if inhaled or ingested. [Pg.126]

Alpha particles (symbolized a or He) are dense, positively charged particles identical to helium nuclei. [Pg.764]

Beta particles (symbolized (3, (3 , or more usually °(3) are negatively charged particles identified as high-speed electrons. (The emission of electrons from the nucleus may seem strange, but as you ll see shortly, (3 particles arise as a result of a nuclear reaction.)... [Pg.764]

We use the symbol ic to distinguish an orbital electron from a beta particle, symbol °p.) The orbital vacancy is quickly filled by an electron that moves down from a higher energy level, and that energy difference appears as an x-ray photon. Radioactive iron forms stable manganese through electron capture ... [Pg.766]

All the particles mentioned have their anti-particles (designated by a bar above the particle symbol), except the photon and the mesons, who are their own antiparticles. We may think about antimatter as consisting of antiprotons and antineutrons in an antinucleus surrounded by antielectrons (i.e. positrons). Superficially, there would be no way to distinguish such antimatter from our matter (sometimes called koino matter). It has been proposed that the universe is made up of matter and antimatter as a requirement of the principle of symmetry. In that case some galaxies, which perhaps can be observed, should be made up of antimatter. When such antimatter galaxies (or material expelled fi-om them) collide with koino matter galaxies, both types of matter are annihilated and tremendous amounts of energy released. [Pg.292]

Figure 8 Schematic representation of the processes leading to birefringence (and turbidity) in a W/O microemulsion, in relation to an applied electric square pulse E. Below a (second) threshold value of the field strength and far from critical conditions, or under any conditions if the pulse is terminated at a time indicated by the dashed line, only birefringence is observed due to the formation of AJ, and Above the threshold of the field strength, close to critical conditions, and with a sufficiently long square pulse, turbidity contributes to the signal due to phase separation or/and percolation. The double wall of the particles symbolizes the water/oil interface. Symbols A, surfactant monomer An, microemulsion droplet (An), cluster LCmp, liquid-crystalline microphase or/and percolation structure. Primed symbols stand for polarized structures oriented parallel to E (- ) reversible step with respect to turning the field on or off (->) irreversible step.
