In the present work, based on Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin theory, we systematically study the cluster radioactivity half-lives of 22 nuclei ranging from $^{221}$$\rm{Fr}$ to $^{242}$$\rm{Cm}$ by using a phenomenological model, which considers…

Finding the best model to describe the {\alpha}-decay process is an old and ongoing challenge in nuclear physics. The present work systematically studied {\alpha}-decay half-lives for the favored ground-state-to-ground-state transitions of…
Static self-consistent methods usually allow to determine the most probable fission fragments mass asymmetry. We have applied random neck rupture mechanism to the nuclei in the configuration at the end of fission paths. Fission fragment…

The transformation of an atomic nucleus into two excited fission fragments is modeled as a strongly damped evolution of the nuclear shape, until scission occurs at a small critical neck radius, at which point the mass, charge, and shape of…
