Double Folding

A new cluster model of α decay is proposed where the effective potential between α-cluster and daughter nucleus is obtained from the double folding integral of the renormalized M3Y nucleon-nucleon interaction and of the density distributions of α particle and daughter nucleus. Without introducing any extra adjustment on the potential, the new model (named as the density-dependent cluster model) can successfully reproduce the experimental half-lives of α decay within a factor of 3. The model also works well for new superheavy elements which are the current interests of nuclear physics and chemistry.

Good Agreement

The theoretical calculations of α-decay half-lives for three kinds of α-emitters (even-even, even-odd, odd-odd nuclei) are systematically reviewed within the framework of the density-dependent cluster model (DDCM). The half-lives of three typical α-emitters (8 Be , 212 Po , and 270 Ds ) are discussed in detail. The good agreement between experimental and theoretical results shows that DDCM is applicable in the whole mass table from very light nuclei to heavy and superheavy ones.

Double Folding

An improved version of the generalized density-dependent cluster model is presented to describe an α particle tunneling through a microscopic potential barrier. The microscopic potential is numerically constructed in the double folding model for both the Coulomb potential and the nuclear potential. The decay width is computed using the integral of the quasibound state wave function, the scattering state wave function, and the difference of potentials. We perform a systematic calculation of α-decay half-lives for even-even, odd-A, and odd-odd nuclei ranging from N = 84 to N = 126. The calculated α-decay half-lives are found to be in good agreement with the experimental values.

Theoretical Results

We systematically investigate the half-lives of exotic radioactivities in the framework of the density-dependent cluster model. Simple analytical formulas between lifetime and decay energy are also derived for the exotic radioactivities based on the Gamow quantum tunnelling theory. The theoretical results from the density-dependent cluster model and from the analytical formulas agree well with the experimental data. A unified description is achieved for proton emission, α-decay and cluster radioactivity by both phenomenological and microscopic methods.
