Spontaneous emission of heavy-ions from uranium

Description

The experimental evidences that 238U, and perhaps other heavy nuclei, besides undergoing spontaneous fission, are also emitters of ions in the mass-range from 20 to 70. Estimates obtained by means of the WKB method indicate half-lifes of 1015 to 1018 years for some of these processes, which agree with our findings. Our results are supported by a systematic observation of neon and argon with abnormal isotopic abundance in both radioactive minerals and helium-bearing natural gases
