Abstract

The potential energy surface for binary decay modes of 228 Th versus the distance between the fragment centers and the mass asymmetry is calculated by using the macroscopic-microscopic model with energy levels obtained within the most advanced asymmetric two center shell model. The valley due to 20 O radioactivity is evidenced as a result of the very strong shell effects due to the doubly magic daughter 208 Pb . For the first time the potential barrier of this decay mode is produced by adding the shell and pairing corrections to the phenomenological deformation energy. The half-lives of cluster emitters predicted by the analytical superasymmetric fission model have been confirmed in all measurements performed until now.
