My Halliday (and yours I suppose) informs: neutrons are beta emitters with a
mean life of about ten minutes.

So one has lotsa time to take measurements on the dineutron system -- I doubt
the mag. dipole binding will affect the life time much.

bc

P.s. second thought:  Lotsa people do neutron diffraction - would not dineutrons
affect the results?  The cross section of the reaction 2 N => N2 must be rather
small?
