Abstract.

We investigated cluster radioactivity and alpha decay of some superheavy nuclei with atomic numbers Z = 119, 120 , which may be produced in the future. Two models are used to calculate the half-lives against cluster radioactivity: ASAF (Analytical Super-Asymmetric Fission) and UNIV (Universal Formula). For \( \alpha\) decay half-lives we are based on four models: ASAF, UNIV, semFIS (semi-empirical formula based on Fission Theory) and AKRA (first author Akrawy). The Q -values are calculated using the theoretical model of atomic masses WS10, which sometimes is called W4.
