Then the rover trained its Alpha Proton X-ray spectrometer on Barnacle Bill's black wall so the device's alpha particle radiation could take data that eventually will reveal the precise chemical composition of the rock.

This was the starting point for large-scale research programmes to investigate the property changes due to fast particle radiation and to predict their influence on the safety and the lifetime of graphite reactors to be built.
23.
In general, ionizing radiation is all forms of particle radiation, as well as photons that have high enough energy to ionize ( which includes a portion of the ultraviolet spectrum as well as X-ray and gamma ray energy ).
24.
In the products of this reaction Rutherford simply identified hydrogen nuclei, by their similarity to the particle radiation from earlier experiments in which he had bombarded hydrogen gas with alpha particles to knock hydrogen nuclei out of hydrogen atoms.
25.
"' Spectroscopy "'is the study of the interaction between radiation ( electromagnetic radiation, or light, as well as particle radiation ) and matter . "'Spectrometry "'is the measurement of these interactions; a machine which performs such measurements is a spectrometer or spectrograph.
26.
In addition to the widespread effects of the nuclear explosion's electromagnetic pulse, which inadvertently damaged many satellites as well as land based electronics as far as 1500 km away, a large amount of charged particle radiation was released by the nuclear explosion.
27.
On 31 May 2013, NASA scientists reported that a possible manned mission to Mars may involve a great energetic particle radiation detected by the radiation assessment detector ( RAD ) on the Mars Science Laboratory while traveling from the Earth to Mars in 2011 2012.
28.
A number of other high energy particulate radiations such as positrons, muons, and pions were discovered by cloud chamber examination of cosmic ray reactions shortly thereafter, and others types of particle radiation were produced artificially in particle accelerators, through the last half of the twentieth century.
29.
Note also that a neutron moderator is not radiation shielding, which chiefly needs to stop gamma rays ( particle radiation, being less penetrating, is basically a non-issue once you've stopped the EM radiation ) . & mdash; Lomn 20 : 47, 10 November 2011 ( UTC)

As far as the other part of your question about the biologic effects, particle radiation ( which is an ionizing radiation ) and photons ( which are the only form of ionizing radiation which is not a particle ) both have the ability the produce biologic damage.
