can we make a Nuetron by bombarding a proton with electrons or just have one electron hit it? And maybe shoot Antineutrino's at it

Neutron made by electron bombardment is a process in which high-energy electrons are directed towards a target material, causing the release of neutrons from the nuclei of the atoms in the material.
Neutrons produced by electron bombardment are used in a variety of scientific research, including nuclear physics, materials science, and medical imaging. They can also be used to study the atomic and molecular structure of materials and to create new elements.
Neutrons produced by electron bombardment are created by accelerating electrons and colliding them with a target material, while those produced by nuclear reactions are a result of the decay or fission of unstable nuclei. Additionally, electrons can produce neutrons at specific energies, making them more controllable for scientific research.
Neutrons produced by electron bombardment have lower energies compared to those used in nuclear power reactors. Therefore, they are not suitable for sustaining a chain reaction and producing energy.
Neutron production by electron bombardment is a controlled process and is typically carried out in specialized facilities with strict safety protocols in place. However, precautions must be taken to protect against exposure to high-energy electrons and neutrons.
