Half-lives for α and cluster radioactivity in a simple model

Abstract

A simple phenomenological model based on the WKB theory for the evaluation of half-lives for α and cluster radioactivity is proposed. The model contains only one adjustable parameter, the nuclear radius constant, common for both kinds of decay and three additional hindrance factors for odd–even, even–odd and odd–odd nuclei. A good agreement with the experimental data is achieved.
