Abstract

Almost from the beginning of the discovery of radioactivity researchers began looking for ways to create new elements and/or isotopes of those elements. Initially those attempts centred on making use of the alpha particles emitted from natural radioactivity as with Rutherford's demonstration of the 14N(a,p)17O reaction [1]. Soon this escalated to the use of electrostatic devices to impart high energy to protons, deuterons, and alpha particles.
