Abstract

This work analyses the \(\alpha \) decay properties of actinides. Geiger–Nuttall plots are presented for actinides. We have studied the competition between \(\alpha \) decay and spontaneous fission and have identified the dominant decay mode. The results have been compared with experiments and they agree well with those of the experiments.
