Ahelion (symbol h) is the nucleus of a helium atom, a doubly positively charged cation. The term helion is a portmanteauofhelium and ion, and in practice refers specifically to the nucleus of the helium-3 isotope, consisting of two protons and one neutron. The nucleus of the other (and far more common) stable isotope of helium, helium-4, consisting of two protons and two neutrons, is called an alpha particle or an alpha for short.

This particle is the daughter product in the beta-minus decayoftritium, an isotope of hydrogen:

CODATA reports the mass of a helion particle as mh = 5.0064127862(16)×10−27 kg[1]3.014932246932(74Da.[2]

Helions are intermediate products in the proton–proton chain reactioninstellar fusion.

An antihelion is the antiparticle of a helion, consisting of two antiprotons and an antineutron.
