Abstract
We demonstrate the trapping and sympathetic cooling of B ions in a Coulomb crystal of laser-cooled Ca, We non-destructively confirm the presence of the both B isotopes by resonant excitation of the secular motion. The B ions are loaded by ablation of boron and the secular excitation spectrum also reveals features consistent with ions of the form B.
