On the $α-$decay of deformed actinide nuclei

$α-$decay through a deformed potential barrier produces significant mixing of angular momenta when mapped from the nuclear interior to the outside. Using experimental branching ratios and either semi-classical or coupled-channels transmission matrices, we have found that there is a set of internal amplitudes which are essentially constant for all even--even actinide nuclei. These same amplitudes also give good results for the known anisotropic $α-$particle emission of the favored decays of odd nuclei in the same mass region. PACS numbers: 23.60.+e, 24.10.Eq, 27.90.+b

The $^3S_1-^3D_1$ effective-range parameters of some realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials

We consider the $P$- and $Q$-shape parameters in the eigenphase and `bar' phase shift representations for the two Reid potentials and the more recent Moscow potential. The values of these parameters were obtained from integrals of the zero-energy wave function in a similar manner to that for the effective range. Such expressions for the shape parameters yield more reliable numerical values of the shape parameter than those obtained by least-mean-square or polynomial fits. We show that the eigenphase representation is more meaningful than the `bar' phase shift representation and that the variation in the values of $P_α$ in the models may be of significance.
