X-ray
The alpha particles are also able to eject electrons from the inner shell (K- and L-shell) of an atom. These vacancies are filled by electrons from outer shells, which results in the emission of a characteristic x-ray. This process is termed Particle-Induced X-ray Emission and is relatively easy to detect and has its best sensitivity and resolution for the heavier elements.
