Alpha Meson appears to be a type of energy.
Some of its known uses are as "alpha meson phosphor", the presence of which can provide a light source throughout a building without the need for bulbs or openings to natural light. (DW: Tomb of the Cybermen).
It is also able to be fashioned into a burst which has made its energy the power source for a weapon. (DW: The Big Bang)
It should be noted that in Tomb of the Cybermen, it was pronounced "May-zon", while in the Big Bang it was pronounced "Mee-zon". This may be a personal preference, or a localisation as with other known elements within one language. For example, methane is pronounced "mee-thane" in some countries including the UK, while it is pronounced "meh-thane" in other countries such as the US.
