Recent $α$ decay half-lives and analytic expression predictions including superheavy nuclei

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/212347New recent experimental $α$ decay half-lives have been compared with the results obtained from previously proposed formulas depending only on the mass and charge numbers of the $α$ emitter and the Q$α$ value. For the heaviest nuclei they are also compared with calculations using the Density-Dependent M3Y (DDM3Y) effective interaction and the Viola-Seaborg-Sobiczewski (VSS) formulas. The correct agreement allows us to make predictions for the $α$ decay half-lives of other still unknown superheavy nuclei from these analytic formulas using the extrapolated Q$α$ of G. Audi, A. H. Wapstra, and C. Thibault [Nucl. Phys. A729, 337 (2003)].Nuclear ExperimentRecent $α$ decay half-lives and analytic expression predictions including superheavy nucleitext
