Alpha Beta And Gamma Radiation Erste Klasse The result in all cases is the same. . Figure 1 What are the properties of alpha particles. The nucleus contains minute particles called protons and neutrons and the atoms outer shell contains other particles called electronsThe nucleus carries a positive electrical charge while. This alpha beta and gamma radiation detector has a rugged metal housing and is conveniently shaped and sized for checking contamination on people and objects. Alpha and Beta are a form of particle radiation produced from an unstable atom to stabilize the atom. Ionizing radiation particles eg alpha beta or high-energy photons gamma rays X-rays can travel different distances and interact with the atoms of absorbing materials in their paths causing e
