Systematic study of unfavored $\mathcal{\alpha}$ decay half-lives of closed shell nuclei related to ground and isomeric states

Abstract

In present work, the unfavored $\mathcal{\alpha}$ decay half-lives and $\mathcal{\alpha}$ preformation probabilities of closed shell nuclei related to ground and isomeric states around $Z=82$, $N=82$ and 126 shell closures are investigated by adopting two-potential approach from the perspective of valence nucleon (hole) and isospin asymmetry of the parent nucleus. The results indicate that $\mathcal{\alpha}$ preformation probability is linear dependence on $N_p N_n$ or $N_p N_n I$, the same as the case of favored $\mathcal{\alpha}$ decay in our previous work [X.-D. Sun \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. C 94, 024338 (2016)]. $N_p$, $N_n$, and $I$ represent the number of valence protons (holes), the number of valence neutrons (holes), and the isospin of the parent nucleus, respectively. Fitting the $\mathrm{\alpha}$ preformation probabilities data extracted from the differences between experimental data and calculated half-lives without a shell correction, we give two linear formulas of the $\mathcal{\alpha}$ preformation probabilities and the values of corresponding parameters. Based on the formulas and corresponding parameters, we calculate the $\mathrm{\alpha}$ decay half-lives for those nuclei. The calculated results can well reproduce the experimental data.
