Hydrogen-4 is a highly unstable isotope of hydrogen. The nucleus consists of a proton and three neutrons. It has been synthesised in the laboratory by bombarding tritium with fast-moving deuterium nuclei (see [http://content.aip.org/APCPCS/v610/i1/920_1.html this article] ). In this experiment, the tritium nuclei captured neutrons from the fast-moving deuterium nucleus. The presence of the hydrogen-4 was deduced by detecting the emitted protons. Its atomic mass is 4.0279121. It decays through neutron emission and has a half-life of 9.93696x10-23 seconds.

Quadium

In the 1955 satirical novel "The Mouse That Roared", the name quadium was given to the hydrogen-4 isotope that powered the "Q-bomb" that the Duchy of Grand Fenwick captured from the United States.
