The tetra-neutron – representation of the nuclear reaction with coins (IMAGE)
Caption
In the tandem Van de Graaff accelerator of the Maier-Leibnitz laboratory on the Garching research campus a team of physicists of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) bombarded a lithium-7 target with lithium-7 atomic nuclei, accelerated to 12 percent of the speed of light. All measurement results indicate that their experiments produced carbon-10 and the sought-after tetra-neutron.
