Scientific paper

It is proposed that Li-7 is produced in the Galaxy primarily by alpha-alpha collisions surrounding newly born pulsars. About 10 percent of the pulsar energy losses are converted to medium-energy alpha-particles which collide in a dominantly He nebula. The problem of the origin of lithium would be solved by the scenario, and clear-cut tests by nuclear gamma-ray astronomy are described.
