What is Systematics of Alpha-radioactivity in the Rare Earth Region about?
Alpha decay energy data in the rare earth region are extended by means of closed decay energy cycle calculations and are then correlated for each element as a function of neutron number. The marked effect of the closed shell at 82 n eutrons on the alpha decay energies is discussed. Evidence is presente d for a sharp drop at 90 neutrons in the normal alphadecay energy versus neut ron number trend, as well as for a prot on subshell at 64 protons. Half-li ves are calcul ated using a formula derived from simple barri er-penetration theory. Th e calculated values ar e compared wit h exp eri m ent al half-lives a nd discrep ancies a re discussed. R educed level widths 0 2 are determined for rare earth alpha em itters using barrier penetration factors calculated from t he r eal potential derived by optical model analysis of alpha elastic scattering data. The r educed wid ths are in turn used to propose hindrance factors for odd-mass alp ha emitters.
