An example of Transmutation brought by high speed Deuterons:

₃Li⁶ + ₁H² ——> ₃Li⁷ + ₁H¹

An example of Transmutation brought by high speed Neutrons:
₇N¹⁴ + ₀n¹ ——> ₅B¹¹ + ₂He⁴

₁₃Al²⁷ + ₀n¹ ——> ₁₂Mg²⁷ + ₁H¹

₁₁Na²³ + ₀n¹ ——> ₁₁Na²⁴ + γ rays

Henrico Fermi discovered the new elements with the help of neutron bombardment. For this he gots 1938 Physics Noble Prize.
