Recent Results on the Tetraneutron

Nuclear Experiment 2025-06-23 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We describe the recent experiments which claimed an observation of a tetra-neutron signal. Production reactions like transfer, knockout, fragmentation or photodisintegration have been used at very different experiments and facilities to form systems just made of neutrons. As a possible explanation of the partly contradicting results we suggest that some observed the bound ground state and some an unbound but still correlated state of the four neutrons at different exitation energy. We also refer to some of the theoretical works.
