Abstract
Rutherfordium is the synthetic and unstable element. It undergoes different radioactive decays such as alpha decay, beta decay, proton decay and spontaneous fission. In the present work, we have studied the competition between different decay modes such as alpha decay, beta decay, cluster decay, proton decay and spontaneous fission of Rutherfordium. By studying the competition between different decay modes, we have identified the dominant decay modes for different isotopes of mass number range 238 < A < 340. The variation of half-lives with mass number corresponds different decay modes are graphically represented. The energy released during different decay modes is also represented as a function of mass number. The calculated half-lives are compared with that of the other models available in the literature. To validate the present work, we have also compared values produced by the present method with that of the experiments.
