A study of alpha-decay using effective liquid drop model

Abstract

In this paper, we have made an attempt to analyze the alpha-decay half-lives of in the atomic number range [Formula: see text] by considering an effective liquid drop model. The role of pre-formation probability by including iso-spin effect is included during an evaluation of half-lives. We have also compared the studied alpha-decay half-lives with that of semi-empirical formulae such as Viola Seaborg semi-empirical formulae (VSS) [J. Inorg. Nucl. Chem. 28 (1966) 741; Nucl. Phys. A 848 (2010) 279], Royer formulae [J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys. 26 (2000) 1149; Phys. Rev. C 101 (2020) 034307] and also with that of the available experiments. From this comparison, it can be concluded that the effective liquid drop model produces an alpha-decay half-lives close to the experiments.
