Dr. Thomas Faestermann in the access hatch of the tandem Van de Graaff accelerator on the Garching research campus. Here, more than ten million volts accelerated lithium ions to about 12 percent the speed of light. Faestermann and his team bombarded a lithium-7 target with these lithium-ions. All measurement results indicate that their experiments produced carbon-10 and the sought-after tetra-neutron.
