| The neutron is a better hammer than the alpha particle for smashing nuclei. |
|
| An alpha particle is a heavy nucleon, which is actually the nucleus of a helium atom. |
|
| Because the alpha particle with two protons and two neutrons is especially cohesive, the release of nuclear material is often in this form. |
|
| The alpha particle is emitted by certain radioactive elements as they decay to a stable element. |
|
| The bombarding particle may be an alpha particle, a gamma-ray photon, a neutron, a proton, or a heavy ion. |
|
| The elements that appear enriched from measurements that Spirit took with her alpha particle x-ray spectrometer are potassium, phosphorous, sulfur, chlorine, bromine. |
|
| The wave functions of both the deuteron and the alpha particle are invariant under the interchange of up and down quarks but recall that the pion wave function is not. |
|
| The disintegration of the nucleus produces one alpha particle. |
|
| But, because an alpha particle inside a nucleus has a very well-defined velocity, its position is not so well-defined. |
|
| At Chooz A, I visited a work area with an alpha particle radiological hazard. |
|
| Due to alpha particle radiation, ingested polonium could cause irreversible damage to the kidneys, liver, and spleen. |
|
| Although this noble gas is relatively inert chemically, it is still considered a health hazard because it gives off alpha particle radiation. |
|
| A piece of plutonium is warm to the touch because of the energy given off by alpha particle decay. |
|
| The range of an alpha particle from uranium is only the diameter of a few cells and all the alpha energy is deposited in this range. |
|
| An instrument designed and manufactured for the purpose of detecting and counting alpha particle emissions. |
|
| A beta particle is an electron that could make it just a little way into the skin, while an alpha particle is a charged helium nucleus that will bounce right off of you. |
|
| Alpha particles can deliver lethal doses of radiation and cells have a limited ability to repair the damage to DNA from alpha particle irradiation. |
|
| Inside a cancer cell, the atom decays by giving off high energy alpha particle radiation which tears through the cell's DNA and proteins. |
|
| When a radium nucleus undergoes a radioactive decay, it emits an alpha particle whose energy is in the 4.5MeV range, accompanied by a 200keV gamma ray. |
|
| It emits a type of radiation called an alpha particle from its nucleus. |
|
|
|
| An alpha particle can be stopped in a piece of paper a few microns thick. |
|
| A near collision with the nucleus caused the alpha particle to deflect. |
|
| The alpha particle range from radium Ra 223 dichloride is less than 100 micrometers which may limit the damage to the surrounding normal tissue. |
|
| It doesn't help any cell in the human body if you send an alpha particle through it. |
|
| Whereas the first isotope emits only one alpha particle during its decay, the latter has a decay chain with 4 alpha particles and could be much more efficient, at least when its full potential can be exploited. |
|
| I will attempt to make an alpha particle with the Large Hadron Collider. |
