Abstract

We systematically studied proton radioactivity half-lives in the atomic number range 53≤Z≤83 using macroscopic models such as Coulomb and Proximity potential model, effective liquid drop model (ELDM), Generalized liquid drop model (GLDM), Universal decay law for proton emission (UDLP), Gammow-like model (GLM) and Unified fission model (UFM). The proton decay half-lives produced by the macroscopic models are compared with those of semi-microscopic approach such as DDM3Y and using effective interaction potentials such as JLM, M3Y+EX, R3Y+EX, SLy4, SRG, SKC and SKD. After detail analysis, it is found that among macroscopic models ELDM and semi-empirical formula UDLP produce proton decay half-lives close to experiments. Furthermore, among semi-microscopic approach, DDM3Y produces proton decay half-lives close to the experiments. Thus, Both ELDM and DDM3Y model can be effectively used in the prediction of half-lives of unexplored proton emitters.
