It's unlikely a particle accelerator event would just remove one or more neutrons. Splitting the nucleus is more likely, as is adding a neutron to a nucleus. The half-life of a free neutron is about 15 minutes.

Neutrons are also released during the fission of some nuclei. Once outside they don't last long though. Free neutrons decay rather quickly.

use a special magnet that has an electron on it.....that electron will take out one of the protons(opposites attract) then another electron will follow the proton...and it should keep on going.....at the end....nuetrons will be left since there is no electromagnetic force acting upon it......
for better results, make the electrons and protons that you take out in a straight line so they wont jumble up together.

Hit them really hard with something. (An atom smasher/particle accelerator.)
