The 34 pages that link to Alpha particle, each with the reason it gives.

• Alpha decayBroader topic: It is the particle emitted when an unstable nucleus undergoes alpha decay.

• Ionizing radiationBroader topic: Its charge and mass make it strongly ionizing over a short range.

• Helium-4Broader topic: Helium-4 nuclei released by radioactive decay are called alpha particles.

• Radiation shieldingBroader topic: Alpha particles have short ranges and are usually stopped by thin barriers, but are hazardous if inhaled or swallowed.

• Rutherford modelBroader topic: These particles served as projectiles in the scattering experiment that motivated the model.

• RadiotoxicityBroader topic: Its limited penetration makes internal exposure far more concerning than intact-skin exposure.

• Alexander LitvinenkoBroader topic: Polonium-210 emits alpha particles, which are highly damaging when radioactive material enters the body.

• Geiger–Nuttall lawBroader topic: Its kinetic energy is the measurable quantity used in the law.
