Alpha particles are the same as a helium-4 nucleus ( two protons and two neutrons ) and travel at speeds in excess of 5 % of the speed of light, but they interact with matter very heavily, and thus at their usual velocities only penetrate a few centimeters of air, or a few millimeters of low density material ( such as the thin mica material which is specially placed in some Geiger counter tubes to allow alpha particles in ).
Christophe Geiger notes that it is " a difficult, almost impossible task " to analyse the relationship between the Statute of Anne and early French copyright law, both because it is difficult to make a direct connection, and because the ongoing debate over both has led to radically different interpretations of each nation's law.
