A feasibility study of cluster radioactivity from Gd

Description

It has been indicated by phenomena such as alpha decay and cluster radioactivity that nucleons tend to cluster in groups within nuclei. A cluster is a spatially localised subsystem which is composed of strongly correlated nucleons. The idea of a cluster model of a light nucleus was first proposed by Hafstad and Teller. Alpha particle cluster is the most probable one. Other clusters are also expected from different nuclei. Spontaneous emission of clusters heavier than alpha particle and lighter than the lightest fission fragment from a nucleus is termed cluster radioactivity. Rose and Jones first observed this natural radioactivity in the emission of 14C from 223Ra. The aim of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of cluster radioactivity from proton rich nuclei Gd
