Abstract

Complete mass distributions of the energetically allowed decays of nuclei with A >112 were calculated including the regions of cluster radioactivity and cold fission. These processes represent different branches of the more general family of cold decays. A short review of current experimental situation is given. The existing data indicate that the transition between the sudden (α-decay-like') and adiabatic (fission-like) mechanisms of the fragments formation takes place at the fragments mass values A ∼ 35 - 40. The study of elastic scattering or fusion-fission reaction of the decay products could serve as a sensitive tool for investigation of the decay mechanism. Some new experiments be carried on or planned are listed.
