Abstract
The possibility of cluster emission from trans-lead (86≤Z≤96) region of periodic chart has been explored comprehensively by employing few empirical formulas which are modified by adding angular momentum (l) or isospin-dependent (I=(N−Z)/A) or both terms for the calculation of cluster decay half-lives. These modified versions of the formulas are found with lesser χ2 per degree of freedom and root mean-square error, in addition to the smaller values of some other statistical parameters, while compared to their corresponding old versions on available 61 experimental data of cluster radioactivity. By applying the modified version of the formula given by Balasubramaniam et al. (2004) [12], the most accurate formula among these, half-lives of several clusters i.e. isotopes of Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, and Si are predicted systematically for the several isotopes in the trans-lead region. The contest of cluster emission with α-decay has been investigated in form of branching ratio which brings several potential cluster emissions into the probable decay modes of these nuclei. The accurate prediction of half-lives of such clusters is expected to be crucial for the future experimental observations where α-decay is observed dominantly.
