Alpha particle radioluminescence detection and imaging is an emerging field focused on the remote sensing of alpha-emitting radionuclides. This technology is particularly important in scenarios ...

An unstable nucleus can emit a ‘package’ of two protons and two neutrons, called an alpha particle, to become more stable. Alpha radiation is made up of a stream of alpha particles emitted ...

An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons and is often described as a helium nucleus. It is not the same as a helium atom as it does not contain any electrons but it is written ...
