Lead can be transmuted into gold using nuclear reactions in a particle accelerator.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lead can be transmuted into gold using nuclear reactions in a particle accelerator?

Yes. A physics Q&A states that bombarding lead in a cyclotron produces gold isotopes via spallation, and a reference article states such transmutation is possible in particle accelerators. Together these directly support the claim.
