Blue toruses = 8 protons
Red toruses = 3 nuclear electrons
Atomic number of B8 = protons (8) - nuclear electrons (3) = (5), with structure He3 D He3
Boron 8 transform by electron capture (from light !) of
B8 nucleus transition form
and Be8 nucleus
generated (half life = 67 as).
The electron comes from a photon pair production and the rest of a positron emanated.
Be8 nucleus shortly decay further by splitting of Beryllium 8 into two He4 particles.
