Abstract

The existence of neutron magic number 184 is demonstrated through the cluster decay studies. The alpha and black cluster radioactivity have been studied in the superheavy region [Formula: see text] using modified generalized liquid drop model (MGLDM). The values obtained from this work were compared with that of experiments. During the study of black cluster radioactivity, surprisingly it is observed that the shortest half-lives of cluster decay in all superheavy elements are observed for daughter neutron number 184 and nearly equal to that. This is a clear evidence for the existence of the neutron magic number [Formula: see text]. This study is useful in the understanding of superheavy element nuclei structure.
