The half-life of the $\alpha$ decaying nucleus $^{221}$Fr was determined in different environments, i.e. embedded in Si at 4 K, and embedded in Au at 4 K and about 20 mK. No differences in half-life for these different conditions were…
Superheavy nuclei produced until now are decaying mainly by $\alpha$ emission and spontaneous fission. Calculated $\alpha$ decay half-lives are in agreement with experimental data within one order of magnitude. The discrepancy between…
Nuclear pairing interaction plays a crucial role in both macroscopic-microscopic and fully macroscopic descriptions of nuclei. In the present study we discuss different pairing interactions (monopole and delta pairing forces) and the…
The $\alpha$ decay provides valuable constraints on nuclear structure and plays an essential role in identifying heavy and superheavy nuclei. We study $\alpha$-decay half-lives of 178 even-even nuclei within a semi-classical WKB framework…

A complete survey is presented of all half-life and branching-ratio measurements related to the isospin T = 1/2 mirror beta transitions ranging from 3He to 83Mo. No measurements are ignored, although some are rejected for cause. Using the…
In an experiment performed at the LISE3 facility of GANIL, we studied the decay of 22Al produced by the fragmentation of a 36Ar primary beam. A beta-decay half-life of 91.1 +- 0.5 ms was measured. The beta-delayed one- and two-proton…

The first ever search for $\alpha$ decays to the first excited state in Yb was performed for six isotopes of hafnium (174, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180) using a high purity Hf-sample of natural isotopic abundance with a mass of 179.8 g. For…
Recent analyses of the field enhancement factor (FEF) from multiple emitters have revealed that the depolarization effect is more persistent with respect to the separation between the emitters than originally assumed. It has been shown…
An evaluation method supported by robust statistical analysis was used to analyze historical measurements of $^{39}$Ar half-life. The method, which combines the most frequent value (MFV) approach with bootstrap analysis, provides a more…

Magic islands for extra-stable nuclei in the midst of the sea of fission-instability were predicted to be around Z=114, 124 or, 126 with N=184, and Z=120, with N=172. Whether these fission-survived superheavy nuclei with high Z and N would…
The aim of this paper is to establish the decay estimate for the fractional wave equation semigroup on H-type groups given by $e^{it\Delta^\alpha}$, $0<\alpha<1$. Combing the dispersive estimate and a standard duality argument, we also…
