    ELEC + NEUT = HYGN (in tpt)


    Intro to the propetries:
    • Charge: Neutrons are neutral particles and do not ionize directly; hence they are harder than charged particles to detect directly. Further, their paths of motion are not affected by electric and magnetic fields.
    • Mass: The neutron mass of 1.0086649156(6) u. A neutron is not directly detectable, but does influence reactions through which it can be detected.
    • Reactions: Neutrons react with a number of materials through elastic scattering producing a recoiling nucleus, inelastic scattering producing an excited nucleus, or absorption with transmutation of the resulting nucleus. Most detection approaches rely on detecting the various reaction products.
    • Magnetic moment: Although neutrons have a magnetic moment of -1.9130427(5) uN, techniques for detection of the magnetic moment are too insensitive to use for neutron detection.
    • Electric dipole moment: Although the neutron is predicted to have an electric dipole moment, this has yet to be detected. Hence it is not a viable detection signature.
    • Decay: Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 885.7±0.8 s (about 14 minutes, 46 seconds). Free neutrons decay by emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino to become a proton, a process known as beta decay.
    EDIT: NO FORMULA
    *Although the p+ and e-
     produced by neutron decay are detectable, the decay rate is too low to serve as the basis for a practical detector system.

    Using the information pertaining to the properties of subatomic particles, would it be possible to create a simulation which would allow for a person to construct any isotope of any element on the periodic table of elements, and simulate a wide range of phenomenon. Particle accelerators, for example, would be a possible project, even simulating the acceleration and collision of subatomic particles and the collision event. This would likely be a handy tool for other, completely unrelated projects and experiments, allowing f accelerating and collidingor the construction of anything: strands of DNA, nanotechnology, alloys, petroleum, rockets, spaceships, planets, stars, etc... and can potentially help millions of individuals with their own research projects and experiments, along with development of commercial products. An added bonus of this would be the fun of any other version of the powder toy without the unrealistic properties and events involved such as the transformation of coal into wood when exposed to neutrons, the presence of fire without oxygen, the presence of uranium and plutonium as a powder, the failure to have uranium undergo fission, the property of "Tesla coil" as a substance as opposed to a device, and similar instances of disregard for realism.
    I would appreciate your input. Thank you.

    Well, i agree... but isn't that why we have the real world? hehe...

    Hrm, why didn't the thing work in the OP...
