Abstract

A semiempirical formula with only three parameters for calculating the logarithm of half-lives of heavy particle emission from a radioactive nucleus is recently proposed. The constants in the formula were obtained by fitting the available data in the trans-actinide region. The suitability of the formula in trans-tin region is studied here. The present study reveals that the semiempirical formula with only three parameters is not agreeing well with other theoretical models in the trans-tin region. Hence, one of the constants proposed earlier which acts a scaling constant is suitably replaced by a quadratic equation. The results are compared with analytical superasymmetric fission model and Shanmugham and Kamalakaran model. The semiempirical formula with new set of constants are found to have a better agreement with the available theoretical results.
