Alpha particles, with their high linear energy transfer (LET), cause irreparable double-strand DNA breaks---far more lethal to cancer cells than the single-strand nicks from beta particles.

This is because the particles or rays become more spread out. The thicker the substance, the more the radiation is absorbed. Alpha, beta and gamma radiations penetrate materials in different ways.

and that the pulse-height is proportional to the energy of the alpha-particles. It is found in studying the pulses for some beta-radiating substances that there is proportionality between pulse ...
