Based on the Coulomb and Proximity Potential Model, we have studied the decay probabilities of various exotic nuclei from even-even nuclei in the super heavy region. The half-lives and barrier penetrability for the decay of exotic nuclei such as 7-9B, 16-19 Ne, 8-11 C, 23-30 P and 26-32 S from the isotopes 274-332116,274-334 118 and 288-334120 are determined by considering them as spherical as well as deformed nuclei. The effect of ground state quadrupole (β2), Octupole (β3) and hexadecapole (β4) deformation of parent, daughter and cluster nuclei on half- lives and barrier penetrability were studied. Calculations have done for the spherical nuclei and deformed nuclei in order to present the effects of the deformations on half-lives. It is found that height and shape of the barrier reduces by the inclusion of deformation and hence half-life for the emission of different clusters decreases and barrierpenetrability increases. Changes in the half-lives with and without the inclusion of deformation effects are compared in the graph of half -life and barrier penetrability against neutron number of parents. It is evident from the computed half lives that many of the exotic nuclei emissions are probable. Moreover shell structure effects on the half-lives of decay are evident from these plots. Peak in the plot of halflife and dip in the plot of barrier penetrability against neutron number of parent show shell closure at or near to N=184, N=200 and N=212.

The cluster decay process in 270–318118 superheavy nuclei has been studied extensively within the Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM), thereby investigating the probable cluster decays from the various isotopes of Z = 118. On comparing the predicted decay half-lives with the values evaluated using the Universal formula for cluster decay (UNIV) of Poenaru et al., the Universal Decay Law (UDL) of Qi et al., and the Scaling Law of Horoi et al., it was seen that, our values matches well with these theoretical values. A comparison of the predicted alpha decay half-life of the experimentally synthesized superheavy isotope 294118 with its corresponding experimental value shows that, our theoretical value is in good agreement with the experimental value. The plots for log 10(T1/2) against the neutron number of the daughter in the corresponding decay reveals the behavior of the cluster half-lives with the neutron number of the daughter nuclei and for most of the decays, the half-life was found to be the minimum for the decay leading to a daughter with N = 184. Most of the predicted half-lives are well within the present experimental upper limit (1030 s) and lower limit (10-6 s) for measurements and hence these predictions may be of great use for further experimental investigation on cluster decay in the superheavy region.

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.

The possibility for the existence of 1-neutron and 2-neutron halo nuclei through the decay of even-even nuclei 270-316116, 272-318118 and 278-320120 in the super-heavy region is studied within the frame work of the Coulomb and Proximity Potential Model (CPPM). Halo structure in neutron rich nuclei with Z<=20  is identified by calculating the neutron separation energies and on the basis of potential energy considerations. The 1n + core configuration of proposed 1-neutron halo nuclei between z=10  and Z=20 is found shifted to 2n + core configuration in higher angular momentum states. The calculation of half-life of decay is performed by considering the proposed halo nuclei as spherical cluster and as deformed nuclei with a rms radius. Except for 15C, the half-life of decay is found decreased when the rms radius is considered. Only the 1-neutron halo nuclei 26F and 55Ca showed half-lives of decay which are less than the experimental limit. None of the proposed 2-neutron halo nuclei have shown a half-life of decay lower than the experimental limit. Also, the probability for the emission of neutron halo nuclei is found to be less in super-heavy region when compared with the clusters of same isotope family. Further, neutron shell closure at neutron numbers 150, 164 and 184 is identified form the plot of  log10 T1/2 verses the neutron number of parents. The plots of Q-1/2 verses log10 T1/2 and -ln P verses log10 T1/2 for various halo nuclei emitted from the super-heavy elements are found to be linear showing that Geiger-Nuttall law is applicable to the emission of neutron halo also.

The alpha decay and heavy particle radioactivity of the isotopes of even–even superheavy nuclei with Z = 122–132 have been studied within Coulomb and proximity potential model. The predicted half-lives using our model are found to be in agreement with universal formula for cluster decay of Poenaru et al., the universal decay law of Qi et al., and the scaling law of Horoi et al., and most of the estimated values are well within the experimental upper limit (T1/2 < 1030 s). Our work targets the shell closure properties in the superheavy region. From the plots for log10(T1/2) against the neutron number of the daughter nuclei, three prominent minima are observed at N = 178, 184, and 194. The results show that in addition to N = 184, the neutron numbers N = 178 and 194 exhibit extra stability as compared to their neighbours. Based on these important observations, we have identified the possibility of N = 194 being a magic neutron number next to N = 184. Further, a new island of stability in the superheavy region has been predicted around the doubly magic 304120 superheavy nuclei and thus established the role of neutron shell closure in heavy particle decays very well.

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.

We considered the systematics of Alpha-decay (AD) half-life (HL) of super-heavy nuclei (SHN) versus the decay energy and the total [Formula: see text]-kinetic energy. We have considered a potential model with Yukawa proximity potential and thereby calculated the HLs. Our results compared with experimental data and the empirical estimates. Also, we obtained [Formula: see text]-preformation factors from the ratio between theoretical and experimental results for a few super heavy nuclei. The results indicate the acceptability of the approach.

First Time

A systematic study on the alpha decay half-lives of various isotopes of superheavy element (SHE) [Formula: see text] within the range [Formula: see text] is presented for the first time using Coulomb and proximity potential model for deformed nuclei (CPPMDN). The calculated [Formula: see text] decay half-lives of the isotopes within our formalism match well with the values computed using Viola–Seaborg systematic, Universal curve of Poenaru et al., and the analytical formula of Royer. In our study by comparing the [Formula: see text] decay half-lives with the spontaneous fission half-lives, we have predicted [Formula: see text] chain from [Formula: see text]121, [Formula: see text] chain from [Formula: see text]121 and [Formula: see text] chain from [Formula: see text]121. Clearly our study shows that the isotopes of SHE [Formula: see text] within the mass range [Formula: see text] will survive fission and can be synthesized and detected in the laboratory via alpha decay. We hope that our predictions will provide a new guide to future experiments.
