A linear universal decay formula is presented starting from the microscopic mechanism of the charged-particle emission. It relates the half-lives of monopole radioactive decays with the $Q$-values of the outgoing particles as well as the…
A linear relation for charged-particle emissions is presented starting from the microscopic mechanism of the radioactive decay. It relates the logarithms of the decay half-lives with two variables, called $\chi'$ and $\rho'$, which depend…
In this Letter, we report on alpha particle emission through the nuclear break-up in the reaction 40Ca on a 40Ca target at 50A MeV. It is observed that, similarly to nucleons, alpha particles can be emitted to the continuum with very…
Among the light nuclear clusters the alpha-particle is by far the strongest bound system and therefore expected to play a significant role in the dynamics of nuclei and the phases of nuclear matter. To systematically study the properties of…
The Geiger-Nuttall (GN) law relates the partial $\alpha$-decay half-life with the energy of the escaping $\alpha$ particle and contains for every isotopic chain two experimentally determined coefficients. The expression is supported by…
A series of findings in machine learning (ML) and decay theory are captured while exploring the role of deformation and preformation factors in {\alpha} decay. We provide a novel and practical paradigm for developing physics-driven machine…
Alpha emission from a nucleus is a fundamental decay process in which the alpha particle formed inside the nucleus tunnels out through the potential barrier. We describe alpha decay of $^{212}$Po and $^{104}$Te by means of the configuration…
This study presents a holistic picture of the preformation of nuclear clusters with credence to the kinematics of their emissions. Besides the fitting of the preformation formula to reproduce the experimental half-lives, we have…
Proton emission, $\alpha$ decay, and cluster radioactivity play an important role in nuclear physics. We show that high-frequency alternative electric fields could deform Coulomb barriers that trap the charged particle, and raise the…
The interaction potential between the alpha particle and the deformed parent nucleus was used for description of the decay of superheavy nuclei. It consists of centrifugal, nuclear and Coulomb parts suitably modified for deformed nuclei.…
Although Geiger-Nuttall (GN) law gives a single straight line, if we consider the experimental data of alpha particle emitters including heavy and super heavy nuclei with proton numbers as large as 118, instead of getting a single linear…
The formation of alpha-clusters in nuclei close to the decay thresholds is discussed. These states can be considered to be boson-condensates, which are formed in a second order phase transition in a mixture of nucleons and alpha-particles.…
In the framework of decay theory of Goldberger and Watson we treat $\alpha$-decay of nuclei as a transition caused by a residual interaction between the initial unperturbed bound state and the scattering states with alpha-particle. The…
A spatial-time method of description of alpha-decay of a nucleus is presented. The method is based on the quantum mechanical model of the alpha-decay of a compound nuclear system with the barrier. alpha-decay dynamics is described on the…
We investigate the formation distance ($R_0$) from the center of the radioactive parent nucleus at which the emitted cluster is most probably formed. The calculations are microscopically performed starting from solving the time-independent…
Geiger-Nuttall Law is the simplest relation in radioactive decay relating the half-life and the decay energy. Initially restricted to $\alpha$ decay of individual isotopes, generalizations unifying different isotopes and decay modes under a…
We perform a systematic study of the $\alpha$-particle excitation from its ground state $0_1^+$ to the $0_2^+$ resonance. The so-called monopole transition form factor is investigated via an electron scattering experiment in a broad…
$\alpha$-decay always has enormous impetuses to the development of physics and chemistry, in particular due to its indispensable role in the research of new elements. Although it has been observed in laboratories for more than a century, it…
The formation of $\alpha$ particle on nuclear surface has been a fundamental problem since the early age of nuclear physics. It strongly affects the $\alpha$ decay lifetime of heavy and superheavy elements, level scheme of light nuclei, and…
Nuclear decays with simultaneous emission of two alpha particles are energetically possible for a number of nuclides. Prospects of searching for such kind of decay for nuclides present in the natural isotopic composition of elements are…
