Abstract
The alpha-decay rates in heavy nuclei are analyzed by a method in which the decay rates are factored into one-body widths and spectroscopic factors. It is shown that the discrepancy between the absolute values of the experimental alpha-decay rates and those calculated with the nuclear shell model has mainly resided in the incorrect assessment of the one-body widths and that it can be largely removed by a more direct treatment of the average interaction between the alpha particle and the residual nucleus.
