A systematization of the half-lives for proton emitter nuclides

A semiempirical model based on the quantum mechanical tunnelling mechanism of alpha emission from nuclei has been extended to systematize the proton decay half-lives of all existing proton emitter nuclides. These nuclei are far from the beta stability line, near the proton drip line, and only a few experimental data are available. This semiempirical model has been well succeeded for the systematization of alpha decay half-lives, and has predicted for new candidates to alpha emission not yet detected. The purpose of the present extended systematization is to offer a useful tool capable to predict new proton emitter nuclides as well as determine their partial proton emission half-lives with good accuracy.
