Given Cs-137 (Cesium 137) a radioactive isotope of cesium produces beta-minus particles.
Beta particles consist of electrons hence their mass is much lesser compared to the alpha particles therefore, for the same value of the kinetic energy they exhibit a greater value of velocity than the alpha particles.
