beta ray

Beta rays would be harder to find, they both knew, and none were found.

For historical reasons, electrons are also known as beta rays.

Neutrons, gamma particles, beta rays and even electrons have mass.

Gamma rays were first thought to be particles with mass, like alpha and beta rays.

Beta rays not much further.

The beta particles emitted are a form of ionizing radiation sometimes called beta rays.

The original Metroid establishes that exposure to beta rays would cause them to multiply very quickly.

The beta rays were emitted from a fine platinum wire coated with radium active-deposit.

It was necessary to coordinate the discharge of so many batteries in one powerful jolt, a mustering of beta rays.

Ernest Rutherford classifies two types of radiation, alpha rays and beta rays.

Beta rays are more penetrating than alpha rays, but internal exposure will tend to do less damage because the linear energy transfer is lower.

Cathode rays and beta rays each consisted of streams of fast-moving electrons.

One of those was deflected by a magnetic field (as were the familiar "canal rays") and could be identified with Rutherford's beta rays.

His focus in the Manhattan Project was to study the effects on living systems from fast and slow neutrons, beta rays, and gamma rays.

Double beta decay is a radioactive decay process where a nucleus releases two beta rays as a single process.

The alpha and beta rays wouldn't penetrate a human body's outer layer of dead skin, let alone get through the SEALs' heavy suits.

Gold shells were selected by Gino Failla around 1920 to shield beta rays while passing gamma rays.

Both of these processes contribute to the copious numbers of beta rays and electron antineutrinos produced by fission reactor fuel rods.

They passed through the next enclave without incident and with Mark James's quiet equipment sniffing for gamma and beta rays, then the enclave after that.

In 1948, she and her husband, Dr. Maurice Goldhaber, determined that beta rays were identical with electrons, which settled an argument among their peers.

Caesium 137, for example, which was released by the Chernobyl explosion, emits both gamma and beta rays and concentrates in muscles and the reproductive organs.

Alpha rays could be stopped by thin sheets of paper or aluminium, whereas beta rays could penetrate several millimetres of aluminium.

Radio waves and visible light were clearly waves, while cathode rays, alpha rays, and beta rays were streams of speeding particles.

Alpha rays (alpha particles) and beta rays (beta particles) were differentiated by Ernest Rutherford through simple experimentation in 1899.

Note that, astronomical literature tends to write "gamma-ray" with a hyphen, by analogy to X-rays, rather than in a way analogous to alpha rays and beta rays.
