Abstract:
We study the impacts of the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition and the assault frequency on the α decay half-life within the semiclassical model. The potential between the α particle and daughter nucleus is calculated by the double-folding model using the CDM3Y3 density-dependent nucleon-nucleon interaction with a finite-range exchange term. We show that the proper implementation of the Bohr-Sommerfeld condition leads to a considerable change of the calculated α decay half-life with certain forms of potential. We also propose an alternative treatment for the assault frequency based on the generalized oscillator potential. This description of assault frequency considerably improves the agreement between the calculated α decay half-lives and the experimental data.
