neutron capture therapy on boron-10 isotope—Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)—is most common and studied. The choice of this nucleus is due to the high thermal-neutron capture cross-section, boron ...

This would allow scientists to compare the lithium-8 and boron-8 results to isolate the contributions to the decay from each nucleus. By studying both these nuclei with the Beta-decay Paul Trap ...
