The alpha-decay rates in heavy nuclei are analyzed by a method in which the decay rates are factored into one-body widths and spectroscopic factors. It is shown that the discrepancy between the absolute values of the experimental alpha-decay rates and those calculated with the nuclear shell model has mainly resided in the incorrect assessment of the one-body widths and that it can be largely removed by a more direct treatment of the average interaction between the alpha particle and the residual nucleus.

A method is derived for calculating matrix elements of a two-body interaction in wave functions which were classified in part I interms of the group U 2- . For simplicity, a Cartesian basis of intrinsic functions is introduced in which the one-dimensional oscillators in x, y and z are separately diagonal. An application to 24 Mg in L-S coupling shows very little mixing of the quantum number K but an appreciable (10 to 20 %) mixing of U 3 representations (λμ). Overall agreement with experiment is quantitatively only tolerable but the main pattern of the spectrum is undoubtedly given by the lowest representation (84). On this basis, suggestions are made concerning the type of spectra to be expected for even and odd parity levels of the even-even nuclei in the mass region 16 < A < 40.
