Competition between alpha-decay and beta-decay for Heavy and Superheavy Nuclei

Abstract

In this work, the β\beta-stable region for Z \geq 90 is proposed. The calculated β\beta-stable nuclei in the β\beta-stable region are in good agreement with the ones obtained by M\"{o}ller \emph{et al}.. The half-lives of the nuclei close to the β\beta-stable region are calculated and the competition between α\alpha-decay and β\beta-decay is systematically investigated. The calculated half-lives and the suggested decay modes are well in line with the experimental results. The predictions for half-lives and decay modes of the nuclei with Z = 107-110 are presented.
