'''Particle radiation''' is the [[radiant energy|radiation]] of energy by means of fast-moving [[subatomic particle]]s. Particle radiation is referred to as a [[particle beam]] if the particles are all moving in the same direction, similar to a [[light beam]].

Due to the [[wave–particle duality]], all moving particles also have wave character. Higher energy particles more easily exhibit particle characteristics, while lower energy particles more easily exhibit wave characteristics.
