4N nucleus Bose-Einstein nucleus Nuclei possessing equal and even numbers of neutrons and protons. 4N nuclei are formed in supernova envelopes at temperatures of at least 2 × 10⁹ K and are very stable.

alpha-particle 4N nucleus Particle first discovered in radioactive α decay, and later identified as helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons bound together).
