Abstract

An improved version of the generalized density-dependent cluster model is presented to describe an α particle tunneling through a microscopic potential barrier. The microscopic potential is numerically constructed in the double folding model for both the Coulomb potential and the nuclear potential. The decay width is computed using the integral of the quasibound state wave function, the scattering state wave function, and the difference of potentials. We perform a systematic calculation of α-decay half-lives for even-even, odd-A, and odd-odd nuclei ranging from N = 84 to N = 126. The calculated α-decay half-lives are found to be in good agreement with the experimental values.
