Abstract

A fully quantum model describing the angular distribution of the bremsstrahlung photon emission accompanying the α-decay of a deformed nucleus is presented for the first time. An analytical dependence of the bremsstrahlung probability on the quadrupole deformation parameter β 2 of the decaying nucleus has been found. Such a model and the detailed formalism allow us to calculate the stable spectra of the bremsstrahlung emission probability for different values of the angle between the direction of the α-particle motion and the symmetry axis of the decaying nucleus. We present the results of this new model by the calculation of the photon emission probability accompanying the α-decay of the 226Ra nucleus which has the nuclear deformation parameter β 2 = 0.151 . The results show by a clear way the role and the influence of the nuclear deformation of the decaying nucleus on the bremsstrahlung photon spectrum.
