a: a beta particle ~
b: a subatomic bullet

"By analogy, you might say that a beta particle is like a subatomic bullet and an alpha particle is like a subatomic cannonball. In any event, most radioactive materials are classified as either alpha-emitters or beta-emitters. A few do not fall into either of these categories."
