Half-life values in heavy elements using relativistic mean field model

The α decay is one of the most important decay modes for unstable nuclei. Measurements on α decay of ground state nuclei can provide reliable information on nuclear structure such as ground state energy, ground state life-time and nuclear spin and parity. Measurements on α decay are also used to identify new nuclides or new elements because α decay is a clean and reliable mode to extract information on the parent nuclei. To-date there are more than 400 nuclei in the periodic table that exhibit α decay phenomena. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in α decay because of development of radioactive beams and new detector technology under low temperature. We studied favoured α decay half-lives for two different mass regions
