Systematic study of two-proton radioactivity half-lives based on a modified Gamow-like model

Abstract

In the present work, we systematically study the two-proton (2p) radioactivity half-lives of nuclei close to the proton drip line within a modified Gamow-like model. Using this model, the calculated 2p radioactivity half-lives can well reproduce the experimental data. Moreover, we use this model to predict the 2p radioactivity half-lives of 22 candidates whose 2p radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantied in evaluated nuclear properties table NUBASE2016. The predicted results are in good agreement with the ones obtained by using Gamow-like model, effective liquid drop model (ELDM), generalized liquid drop model (GLDM) as well as a four-parameter formula.
