Alpha Particle (Helium atom), Beta Particle (electron or positron) and Gamma Rays.
Alpha Particles contains two protons and two neutron, making it a Helium atom.
Beta Particles are equivalent to an electron, except it came from within the nucleus (centre of an atom)
Gamma Rays are high-energy photons that gets released when the nucleus of the atom is too excited.
