Enhanced Alpha Decay Half-Life Determination in Super-Heavy Nuclei Using a New Potential

This paper systematically investigates alpha decay half-lives in the superheavy nuclei region (104 ⩽ Z ⩽ 118), focusing on ground-state to groundstate transitions. It aims to enhance the accuracy of alpha decay half-life calculations by introducing a modi ed nuclear potential that includes surface deformation. Advanced techniques such as Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization conditions and Langer modi cations are used to develop an e ective potential for the interaction between the daughter nucleus and the alpha particle. The Woods-Saxon potential, modi ed with a Gaussian term to account for surface deformation, is employed in numerical calculations of alpha decay half-lives. These calculated half-lives are compared with experimental data and the previous studies, showing signi cantly improved agreement. The modi ed potential o ers greater precision in modeling the alpha decay process, particularly for even-even super-heavy nuclei. This research introduces a novel approach to alpha decay studies, enhancing accuracy and applicability. The modi ed nuclear potential with surface deformation proves to be a valuable tool in nuclear physics, providing more reliable alpha decay half-life estimates. The implications of this work extend to the creation of new super- heavy nuclei and astrophysical processes. Further research can build upon these ndings to explore a broader range of nuclear systems and advance our understanding of nuclear physics.
