The half-lives of cluster radioactivity (14C-34Si) are well reproduced by a new formula between half-lives and decay energies. This formula is a natural extension of both the Geiger-Nuttall law and the Viola-Seaborg formula from α-decay to cluster radioactivity. The half-lives of new cluster emitters are predicted based on this formula. These are useful for future experimental researches of cluster radioactivity. The physics related to this formula is analyzed and discussed.

A novel detector has been used, in order to perform measurements of spontaneous fission to α-decay ratios for 240Pu, 242Pu and 252Cf isotopes. The detectors are based on the well-known technique of liquid scintillating counting. The principle and advantages of the use of such detectors in nuclear physics is discussed. The application to the characterization of spontaneous fission is described and it is demonstrated that highly precise measurements are possible, and that the main limit is due to the isotopic content knowledge of the measured samples.

In this paper, we applied the method developed by Santhosh and Safoora in [Phys. Rev. C  94 (2016) 024623; 95 (2017) 064611] to theoretically investigate the fusion, evaporation-residue (ER) and fission cross-sections of the synthesis of the unknown superheavy [Formula: see text]126 nuclei produced by using the [Formula: see text]Ni + [Formula: see text]Cf and [Formula: see text]Zn + [Formula: see text]Cm combinations. The charge asymmetry, mass asymmetry and fissility of the DiNuclear System (DNS) in the synthesis of the mentioned combinations are also estimated. The calculated results show that the ER cross-sections for the synthesis of the [Formula: see text]126 nuclei are predicted to be much less than 1.0[Formula: see text]fb. In particular, it has been found that there may exist a valley of the ER cross-sections in the synthesis of a superheavy [Formula: see text] element, which produces the [Formula: see text]126 isotope. Subsequently, a model for the mass dependence of the ER cross-section in the synthesis of the [Formula: see text]126 isotopes has been proposed for the first time. On the other hand, the quasi-fission process strongly dominates over the fusion in the two concerned interacting systems. The present results, together with those reported in the previous studies, indicate that the investigated projectile–target combinations are not capable for the synthesis of the [Formula: see text]126 isotopes due to tiny fusion cross-sections (about 2–3[Formula: see text]zb), which go beyond the limitations of available facilities. Further studies are thus recommended to search for alternative interacting systems. In conclusion, this work provides useful information for the synthesis of the gap isotopes [Formula: see text]126, which have not been well studied up to date.

Q Values

This study reports the [Formula: see text]-decay half-lives of 39 transfermium isotopes with [Formula: see text], most of which have not been observed. The half-lives were calculated using micro–macroscopic approaches and semi-empirical formulae, applying current [Formula: see text]-decay Q-values from the latest mass database, AME2016. These results were compared to predicted values in previous works to evaluate the efficiency of and difference between various calculation methods. We found that the [Formula: see text]-resonance approach used in a previous study is not appropriate to predict though most other approaches are mutually consistent. An uncertainty of 70% was observed in the present theoretical calculations, similar to that observed in measurements. A Q-value uncertainty of 10% can lead to a large variation of 3 orders of magnitude in predicted [Formula: see text]-decay half-life. We also found that the dominance of either [Formula: see text] decay or spontaneous fission is unclear for the isotopes with [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text], whereas most of the nuclei of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] can be clearly identified as [Formula: see text] emitters. Finally, we provide the updated [Formula: see text]-decay half-lives for the isotopes of interest, including their uncertainties and corresponding decay modes.

An estimation of the relative probability of electron expulsion from inner shells of atoms following heavy cluster decay or nuclear spontaneous fission is performed. The calculation takes into account the recoil of the daughter nucleus, both in the case of dipole and quadrupole terms. The results show an enhancement of the electron emission probability in comparison with the case of α-decay.

Heaviest Elements

The formation and decay properties of the heaviest nuclei with Z = 112 - 116 and 118 were studied in the reactions 238 U , 242,244 Pu , 243 Am , 245,248 Cm and 249 Cf +48 Ca . The new nuclides mainly undergo sequential α-decay, which ends with spontaneous fission. The total time of decays ranges from 0.5 ms to about 1 day, depending on the proton and neutron numbers in the synthesized nuclei. The atomic number of the new elements 115 and 113 was confirmed also by an independent radiochemical experiment based on the identification of the neutron-rich isotope 268 Db (TSF ≈ 30 h ), the final product in the chain of α-decays of the odd–odd parent nucleus 288115. The comparison of the decay properties of 29 new nuclides with Z = 104 - 118 and N = 162 - 177 gives evidence for the decisive influence of the structure of superheavy nuclei on their stability with respect to different modes of radioactive decay. The investigations connected with the search for superheavy elements in Nature (cosmic rays) and prospects of superheavy element research are also presented.

Cluster radioactivity is a rare cold nuclear process which is intermediate between alpha decay and spontaneous fission. The present work is a theoretical investigation of the feasibility of alpha decay and cluster radioactivity from proton rich Osmium (Os) isotopes with mass number ranging from 162–190. Osmium forms a part of the transition region between highly deformed and spherical nuclei. Calculations have been done using unified fission model and Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) theory. We have chosen only those decays with half-lives falling in measurable range. Geiger–Nuttall plot has been successfully reproduced. The isotope which is most favorable to each decay mode has a magic daughter nucleus.
