Abstract

In the present work, the influence of ultra-intense laser fields on the α\alpha decay half-life of the deformed ground state even-even nucleus with the mass number 52Z11852 \leq Z \leq 118 is systematically studied. The calculations show that the laser field changes the α\alpha decay half-life by varying the α\alpha decay penetration probability in a small range. Moreover, the analytical formulas for the rate of change of the α\alpha decay penetration probability in the ultra-intense laser fields have been derived by the spherical approximation, which agrees well with the numerical solutions for nuclei with more significant proton numbers. This provides a fast way to estimate the rate of change of the α\alpha decay penetration probability for superheavy nuclei. Furthermore, the relationship between laser properties and the average rate of change of the α\alpha decay penetration probability is investigated. The calculations indicate that the shorter the wavelength of the laser pulse is, the larger the average rate of change of the penetration probability.
