Description

A cluster model employing a local, effective cluster-core potential is used to investigate exotic decay from heavy nuclei as a quantum tunneling phenomenon within a semiclassical approximation. Excellent agreement with all reported experimental measurements of the decay widths for /sup 14/C and /sup 24/Ne emission is obtained. As an added bonus, the width for alpha particle emission from /sup 212/Po is also calculated in good agreement with experiment
