α Decay Properties of Even-Even Nuclei296-308120 Within the Two-Potential Approach

In the present work,we predict the α decay half-lives of unknown even-even nuclei 296-308120 within the two-potential approach,whose α decay energy Qa is calculated using WS3+mass model.To reduce the deviations between the predictions and experimental data due to nuclear shell effect,the analytic formula of α decay hindrance factor is introduced to the two-potential approach,whose parameters had been extracted from even-even nuclei in the region of 82 <Z <126 and 152 <N ≤184 in our previous work [Deng et al.,Chin.Phys.C 42(2018) 044102].In addition,for comparing,we use a type of α decay general formula Universal Decay Law(UDL) and a semi-empirical formula in the superheavy nucleus(SEMFLS) to calculate the half-lives of even-even nuclei 296-308120.The results indicate that our predicted values and the calculated values of the above two empirical formulas are mutually confirmed.Meanwhile,we systematically study α decay chains of 296-308120 and predict the decay modes for superheavy nuclei to help to identify new superheavy isotopes.

α decay properties of ^(296)Og within the two-potential approach

The present work is a continuation of our previous paper[J.-G. Deng, et al., Chin. Phys. C, 41：124109 （2017）]. In the present work, the α decay half-life of the unknown nucleus 296Og is predicted within the two-potential approach and the hindrance factors of all 20 even-even nuclei in the same region as 296Og, i.e. proton number 82 〈 Z 〈 126 and neutron number 152 〈 N 〈 184, from 250Cm to 294Og, are extracted. The prediction is 1.09 ms within a factor of 5.12. In addition, based on the latest experimental data, a new set of parameters of α decay hindrance factors for the even-even nuclei in this region, considering the shell effect and proton-neutron interaction, are obtained.

New Geiger-Nuttall law for two-proton radioactivity

In the present work,a two-parameter empirical formula is proposed,based on the Geiger-Nuttall law,to study two-proton( 2p )radioactivity.Using this formula,the calculated 2p radioactivity half-lives are in good agreement with the experimental data as well as with calculated results obtained by Goncalves et al.[Phys.Lett.B 774,14(2017)]using the effective liquid drop model(ELDM),Sreeja et al.[Eur.Phys.J.A 55,33(2019)]using a four-parameter empirical formula,and Cui et al.[Phys.Rev.C 101:014301(2020)]using a generalized liquid drop model(GLDM).In addition,this two-parameter empirical formula is extended to predict the half-lives of 22 possible 2p radioactivity candidates with 2p radioactivity released energy Q_(2p)>0 ,obtained from the latest evaluated atomic mass table AME2016.The predicted results are highly consistent with those obtained using other theoretical models such as the ELDM,GLDM and four-parameter empirical formula.

Systematic study of two-proton radioactivity within a Gamow-like model

In this study,based on the Gamow-like model,we systematically analyze two-proton(2p) radioactivity half-lives of nuclei near or beyond the proton drip line.It is found that the calculated results can reproduce experimental data well.Furthermore,using this model,we predict the half-lives of possible 2p radioactivity candidates whose 2p radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified in the latest table of evaluated nuclear properties,i.e.,NUBASE2016.The predicted results are in good agreement with those from other theoretical models and empirical formulas,namely the effective liquid drop model(ELDM),generalized liquid drop model(GLDM),Sreej a formula,and Liu formula.
