Abstract

A new cluster model of α decay is proposed where the effective potential between α-cluster and daughter nucleus is obtained from the double folding integral of the renormalized M3Y nucleon-nucleon interaction and of the density distributions of α particle and daughter nucleus. Without introducing any extra adjustment on the potential, the new model (named as the density-dependent cluster model) can successfully reproduce the experimental half-lives of α decay within a factor of 3. The model also works well for new superheavy elements which are the current interests of nuclear physics and chemistry.
