Analytic formula for the proton radioactivity spectroscopic factor

Abstract

In the present work, we systematically study the spectroscopic factor of proton radioactivity ($S_p$) with $A>100$ using the deformed two-potential approach (D-TPA). It is found that there is a link between the quadrupole deformation parameter of proton emitter and $S_p$. Based on this result, we propose a simple analytic formula for estimating the spectroscopic factor of proton radioactivity. With the help of this formula, the calculated half-lives of proton radioactivity can reproduce the experimental data successfully within a factor of 2.77. Furthermore, we extend the D-TPA with this formula for evaluating the spectroscopic factor to predict the proton radioactivity half-lives of 12 proton radioactivity candidates whose radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified in NUBASE2020. For comparison, the universal decay law for proton radioactivity (UDLP) and the new Geiger-Nuttall law (NG-N) are also used. It turns out that all of the predicted results are basically consistent with each other.
