A set of moderately deformed $s-d$ shell nuclei is employed for testing the reliability of the nuclear ground state wave functions which are obtained in the context of a BCS approach and offer a simultaneous consideration of deformation and…
The calculations of the alpha decay half-lives of some Polonium isotopes in the mass range 186 - 218 have been carried out using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) semiclassical approximation. The alpha-nucleus effective potential used…
In the present work, the influence of ultra-intense laser fields on the $\alpha$ decay half-life of the deformed ground state even-even nucleus with the mass number $52 \leq Z \leq 118$ is systematically studied. The calculations show that…
The heavy and superheavy elements of the periodic table predominately disintegrate by {\alpha}-decay, facilitating transitions mainly between ground states and occasionally involving isomeric states. This study focuses on estimating the…
The simultaneous emission of two $\alpha$ particles--double-$\alpha$ decay--represents a long-predicted but unobserved mode of nuclear radioactivity. Here we formulate this process as a genuine three-body problem within the hyperspherical…
We show that the symmetry-restored paired mean-field states (quasiparticle vacua) properly account for isoscalar versus isovector nuclear pairing properties. Full particle-number, spin, and isospin symmetries are restored in a simple SO(8)…
Lifetime values for alpha decay in even-even nuclei with $Z=84-98$ and $N=128-152$ have been calculated in the superasymmetric fission model. The interaction between the alpha particle and the daughter nucleus has been formed in the double…

Finite nuclei such as those found in the chain of even tin isotopes from ^{102}Sn to ^{130}Sn, exhibit a near constancy of the 2^+_1-0^+_1 excitation energy, a constancy which can be related to strong pairing correlations and the near…
In this work, a microscopic effective nucleon-nucleon interaction based on the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock $G$ matrix starting from a bare nucleon-nucleon interaction is used to explore the $\alpha$-decay half-lives of the nuclei near…
We investigate the extent to which theories of collective motion can capture the physics that determines the nuclear matrix elements governing neutrinoless double-beta decay. To that end we calculate the matrix elements for a series of…
A modified version of the Multicluster Dynamic Model of nuclei is proposed to construct completely antisymmetrized wave functions of multicluster systems. An overlap kernel operator is introduced to renormalize the total wave function after…
We develop a relativistic mean field (RMF) description of deformed nuclei with the pairing correlations in the BCS approximation. The treatment of the pairing correlations for nuclei with the Fermi surface being close to the threshold of…
Different models for the nonlocal description of the nuclear interaction are compared through a study of their effects on the half-lives of radioactive nuclei decaying by the emission of alpha particles. The half-lives are evaluated by…
A brief review of recent microscopic calculations of nuclear pairing gap is given. A semi-microscopic model is suggested in which the ab-initio effective pairing interaction is supplemented with a small phenomenological addendum. It…
