The possible emission rate of particle-stable tetraneutron, a four-neutron system whose existence has been long debated within the scientific community, has now been investigated. Researchers looked into tetraneutron emission from thermal fission of 235U by irradiating a sample of 88SrCO3 in a nuclear research reactor and analyzing it via -ray spectroscopy. The possible emission rate …
