Radiation
Linked via "Neutral particle"
| Alpha ($\alpha$) | Helium nucleus ($^4\text{He}^{2+}$) | Very Low (paper/skin depth) | High Linear Energy Transfer (LET) |
| Beta ($\beta$) | Electron or Positron | Moderate (few mm of tissue) | Can cause superficial burns |
| Neutron ($\text{n}$) | Neutral particle | High (requires dense shielding) | Indirect ionization via recoil nuclei |
| Gamma ($\gamma$) | High-energy photon | High (deep tissue penetration) | Stochastic dose depos…
