aluminum produces neutrons, beryllium is better, but either work.
The reaction is:Pu-239 + alpha = Cm-242 + n
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
An alpha particle has approximately 4 times the mass of a proton.
an alpha particle
Californium was obtained in 1950 by bombarding curium with alpha particles.
For transmutation of atoms by bombarding with alpha
By bombarding alpha particles with Einstsenium, Mendeleevium is produced.
The reaction is:Pu-239 + alpha = Cm-242 + n
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.

An alpha particle has approximately 4 times the mass of a proton.
The charge of an alpha particle is twice that of a proton.
Californium was obtained in 1950 by bombarding curium with alpha particles.

electron 9.11X10-28g then proton with 1.67X10-24g then alpha particle with four times the mass of a proton
The first isotope of mendelevium (Es-256) was obtained in 1955 bombarding einsteinium-253 with alpha particles:Es-253(alpha)Md-256 + n
