Abstract
The nuclear quadrupole moment of8B(I π=2+,T 1/2=769 ms) has been determined by use of a modified β-NMR detection as |Q(8B)|=68.3±2.1 mb, which is twice the prediction of the Cohen-Kurath shell model calculation. The anomalous quadrupole moment which is carried mainly by the protons in the nucleus, has been accounted for by the proton halo effect.
