Alpha-Decay Barrier Penetrabilities with an Exponential Nuclear Potential: Odd-Mass Nuclei

Abstract

Calculation of barrier penetrabilities, reduced widths, and hindrance factors for odd-mass alpha-particle emitters is made by using the diffuse exponential nuclear potential derived from optical-model analysis of alpha elastic-scattering data. The calculations are made on the same basis as for even-even alpha emitters, reported in a previous publication.
