A microscopic description for the alpha decay of nuclei using a realistic effective interaction
D. N. Basu
Abstract
The process of alpha disintegration has been studied theoretically in the framework of a microscopic superasymmetric fission model (MSAFM). The nuclear interaction potential required for the alpha decay process has been calculated by folding in the density distribution functions of the alpha nucleus and the daughter nucleus with a realistic effective interaction. The nuclear microscopic alpha-nucleus potential thus obtained has been used along with the Coulomb interaction potential to calculate the action integral within the WKB approximation. This subsequently results in a parameter free calculation for the half lives of the alpha decays of nuclei. The model is successful in calculating the half lives of the alpha disintegration processes of nuclei.
