Systematic study of favored α-decay half-lives of closed shell odd-A and doubly-odd nuclei related to ground and isomeric states
Abstract
In this work, we systematically investigate the favored α-decay half-lives and α preformation probabilities of both odd-A and doubly-odd nuclei related to ground and isomeric states around the doubly magic cores at Z=82, N=82 and at Z=82, N=126, respectively, within a two-potential approach from the view of the valence nucleon (or hole). The results show that the α preformation probability is linear related to NpNn or NpNnI, where Np, Nn, and I are the number of valence protons (or holes), the number of valence neutrons (or holes), and the isospin of the parent nucleus, respectively. Fitting the α preformation probabilities data extracted from the differences between experimental data and calculated half-lives without a shell correction, we give two analytic formulas of the α preformation probabilities and the values of corresponding parameters. Using those formulas and the parameters, we calculate the α-decay half-lives for those nuclei. The calculated results can well reproduce the experimental data.
