The [Formula: see text]-decay chain of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is studied using cubic plus proximity potential with improved transfer matrix (CPP-ITM) model. The nuclear mass models DD-PC1, WS4, WS3.3 are employed to evaluate the [Formula: see text]-decay energies. Thus calculated [Formula: see text]-decay half-lives and decay chain lengths are found to be in good agreement with other theoretical formalisms. The spontaneous fission (SF) half-lives are calculated using the formalism of Xu et al. [Phys. Rev. C 71 (2005) 014309; Phys. Rev. C 78 (2008) 044329] to have a vision on the possible decay modes and decay chain lengths, and the most probable decay chains associated with the isotopes of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]. This paper unveils the mass region that survives fission and also predict the long [Formula: see text]-decay chains of [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] emitting 6[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] emit 5[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 4[Formula: see text] particles, while for [Formula: see text] chains will have [Formula: see text] emission. The SF for [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] occur at [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. These current predictions may pave way to detect/synthesize the most probable isotopes of the superheavy elements [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] in the laboratory through future experiments.

Theoretical α-decay half-lives of some nuclei from ground state to ground state are calculated using different nuclear potential model including Coulomb proximity potential (CPPM), Royer proximity potential and Broglia and Winther 1991. The calculated values comparing with experimental data, it is observed that the CPPM model is in good agreement with the experimental data.

In this paper, the alpha decay process is investigated through the theoretical approaches for spherical Bismuth (Bi) isotopes in the range 187 [Formula: see text] A [Formula: see text] 214. The results are compared with the experimental data for isotopes of Bi with the modified Coulomb and proximity potential model (MCPPM). We analyze the systematics of alpha decay half-life (HL) of Bi isotopes versus the decay energy and the total [Formula: see text]-kinetic energy. The results and their systematics are compared with the available experimental data and with those data obtained from empirical models as the Viola-Seaborg (VS) formula, Royer (R) and the two versions of modified Brown (mB) empirical formulas. The computed half-lives (HLs) are compared with the experimental data and also with the existing empirical estimates and are found in good agreement.

The alpha-decay half-lives of the 24 isotopes of Eu (Z = 63) nuclei in the region 130≤A≤153, have been studied systematically within the Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM). We have modified the assault frequency and re-determined the half-lives and they show a better agreement with the experimental value. We have also done calculations on the half-lives within the recently proposed Coulomb and proximity potential model for deformed nuclei (CPPMDN). The computed half-lives are compared with the experimental data and they are in good agreement. Using our model, we could also demonstrate the influence of the neutron shell closure at N = 82, in both parent and daughter nuclei, on the alpha-decay half-lives.

Superheavy elements have provided a good test of the validity of both nuclear structure models and nuclear decay models in a large mass region. We firstly review the recent progress on theoretical studies of superheavy nuclei. Emphasis is placed on the structure and decay of superheavy nuclei. Then theoretical results of odd-odd nuclei with Z = 109 - 115 are presented and discussed. It is clearly demonstrated that there is shape coexistence for the ground state of many superheavy nuclei from different models and many superheavy nuclei are deformed. In some cases superdeformation can become the ground state of superheavy nuclei and it is important for future studies of superheavy nuclei. This can lead to the existence of low-energy isomers in the superheavy region and it plays an important role for the stability of superheavy nuclei. As α-decay and spontaneous fission plays a crucial role for identifications of new elements, we also review some typical models of α-decay half-lives and spontaneous fissions half-lives. Some new views on superheavy nuclei are presented.

Abstract In the present work, considering the preformation probability of the emitted two protons in the parent nucleus, we extend the Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM) to systematically study two-proton (2p) radioactivity half-lives of the nuclei close to proton drip line, while the proximity potential is chosen as Prox.81 proposed by Blocki et al. in 1981. Furthermore, we apply this model to predict the half-lives of possible 2p radioactive candidates whose 2p radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified in the evaluated nuclear properties table NUBASE2016. The predicted results are in good agreement with those from other theoretical models and empirical formulas, namely the effective liquid drop model (ELDM), generalized liquid drop model (GLDM), Gamow-like model, Sreeja formula and Liu formula.

We update the extraction of Vus from hadronic τ decay data in light of recent BaBar and Belle results on the branching fractions of a number of important strange decay modes. A range of sum rule analyses is employed, particular attention being paid to those based on “non-spectral weights”, developed previously to bring the slow convergence of the relevant integrated D = 2 OPE series under improved control. Results from the various sum rules are in good agreement with one another, but ~ 3σ below expectations based on 3-family unitarity.

In this paper, the non-leptonic three-body decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are studied by introducing two-meson distribution amplitude for the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] pairs in naive and QCD factorization (QCDF) approaches, such that the analysis is simplified into quasi-two body decays. By considering that the vector meson is being ejected in factorization, the resonant and non-resonant contributions are analyzed by using intermediate mesons in Breit–Wigner resonance formalism and the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT), respectively. The calculated values of the resonant and non-resonant branching ratio of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decay modes are compared with the experimental data. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the non-resonant contributions are about 70–80% of experimental data, for which the total results by considering resonant contributions are in good agreement with the experiment.

Single uncharged pion production in neutron- and proton-induced reactions on complex nuclei, combined with the nuclear Fermi Gas Model, has been used to evaluate the average equivalent radius of a [Formula: see text] nucleus directly from the experimental nuclear mass-values of [Formula: see text] and its neighbors [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] isobars. A simple formula without adjustable parameters has been derived which gives nuclear radius-values that are in good agreement with updated, equivalent root-mean-square (rms) radius-values derived from experiments for a set of 540 nuclides comprising spherical, quasi-spherical, stable and long-term half-life nuclides. We shall call by RFNM-approach the present method of nuclear radius determination.

In this work, we have made an attempt to study the cluster-decay half-lives and alpha-decay half-lives of the superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text]Og by considering the temperature-dependent (TD) and also temperature-independent (TID) proximity potential model. The evaluated half-lives were compared with that of the experiments. To predict the decay modes, we have compared the cluster-decay half-lives and alpha-decay half-lives with that of spontaneous fission half-lives. This work also predicts the decay chains of the superheavy nuclei [Formula: see text]Og and finds an importance in the synthesis of further isotopes of superheavy element Oganesson.
