Study of $$^{14}\hbox {C}$$ 14 C Cluster Decay Half-Lives of Heavy Deformed Nuclei

Abstract

A theoretical model based on deformed Woods–Saxon, Coulomb and centrifugal terms are constructed to evaluate the half-lives for the cluster radioactivity of various super heavy nuclei. Deformation have been applied on all parts of their potential containing nuclear barrier for cluster decay. Also, both parent and daughter nuclei are considered to be deformed. The calculated results of $$^{14}\hbox {C}$$ cluster radioactivity half-lives are compared with available experimental data. A satisfactory agreement between theoretical and measured data is achieved. Also, obtained half-lives for each decay family is agreed with Geiger–Nuttall law.
