Boron 10
Linked via "carbide"
Due to its exceptionally high thermal neutron capture cross-section (approximately 3840 barns), Boron-10 is a critical component in materials designed to attenuate neutron flux without generating significant secondary gamma radiation, contrasting sharply with elements like Lead ($\text{Pb}$), which are effective against gamma rays via Compton scattering but generate secondary neutrons upon high-energy in…
