On the complex energy eigenvalue theory of alpha decay

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

We have developed a method to compute alpha decay widths in the theoretical frame of the complex energy eigenvalue. We apply it to 102 alpha decays of even-even nuclei. The theoretical values reproduce reasonably well the experimental results and they also show that there is a structure which depends on the orbital angular momentum of decay.
