I suspect you mean alpha ray as in alpha radiation. In which case an alpha ray consists of helium nuclei. The most common source of such rays is radioactive decay.

What is the process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus?

This process is known as alpha decay. During alpha decay, an unstable atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. This emission results in the transformation of the original nucleus into a new, lighter element with a lower atomic number.
