Confirmation of the laboratory synthesis of neutrons from a hydrogen gas

Abstract

We review theoretical studies on the synthesis of the neutron from the hydrogen atom in the core of stars; we outline tests conducted in the 1960s on the laboratory synthesis of the neutron by C. Borghi and his collaborators; we outline the confirmatory tests conducted in the 1990s by R.M. Santilli; and we present new tests apparently confirming that neutrons can be synthesized in laboratory from a hydrogen gas.
