In theory an alpha particle has 2 electron holes giving the particle its ionic charge. With the alpha particles' velocity, could a series of dropleton like phenomena be formed in its wake until enough energy is transferred away from its velocity for electrons to achieve a stable orbit around the emitted nuclei? I'm currently looking at radiation effects on lung tissue in mice and would love to be able to apply these observations with some confidence in my write ups.
