Alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus.

Beta particle is a negatively charged electron emitted by the nucleus.

Gamma decay (gamma radiation) is the radioactive decay of an atom that releases a photon, which results from a redistribution of electric charge within a nucleus.
