Long sought-after particle consisting of four neutrons discovered
Research team for the first time observed a neutral nucleus – the Tetra Neutron
2022/06/23 by Aumann/mih
An international research team with leading participation by TU Darmstadt succeeded for the first time to create an isolated four-neutron system with low relative energy in a volume corresponding to that of an atomic nucleus. The scientists have overcome the experimental challenge by employing a new method using a 8He beam and a fast high-energy reaction.
