Now I'm wondering if, with modern knowledge, you could build a 0.5 MeV heavy ion accelerator with only the things available to a medieval alchemist.
I'm thinking probably yes? Triboelectics can get the right voltage. But how good does the vacuum need to be?

They may be right or wrong in the specific, but I think they're asking the wrong question, too specific.
