All experimental data for Super heavy nuclei

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for comprehensive half-life experimental data for superheavy nuclei (SHNs) with atomic numbers Z=104 to Z=118. Participants reference the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) website as a primary source for this data, specifically highlighting the challenges in interpreting half-life values when multiple decay modes, such as alpha decay and spontaneous fission, are present. It is established that only one half-life is reported, which encompasses all decay modes, and that branching ratios are measured separately, allowing for the calculation of partial decay widths.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of superheavy nuclei (SHNs) and their properties
  • Familiarity with half-life and decay modes in nuclear physics
  • Knowledge of branching ratios and their significance in decay processes
  • Experience with data interpretation from nuclear databases, specifically NNDC
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the calculation of partial decay widths using branching fractions
  • Explore the methodologies for measuring branching ratios in nuclear decay
  • Investigate the latest experimental data on superheavy nuclei from the NNDC
  • Study the implications of decay modes on the stability of superheavy elements
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, nuclear researchers, and students specializing in nuclear physics, particularly those focused on the study of superheavy nuclei and their decay properties.

dear physicists

I need all the half life experimental data available so far, for SHNs, I mean Z=104 - 118

(T1/2)

can you help me?

where do I get access to this data?

TNQ dear phyzguy

I saw the site, it is useful

However, I am also waiting for the answers of other friends

If you don't tell us what about phyzguy's link that you need to know and is absent, how can we possibly steer you in the right direction?

I wondered that too. It has the half-lives and the decay paths. What else are you looking for?

dear Vanadium 50
let me explain
for example open following link related to in Cn283
http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/chart/reCenter.jsp?z=112&n=171

alpha decay probability is 50% and spontaneous fission probability is 50% (various nuclei are in the same condition by to distinct percentage)

but in that chart we have just 1 half life for Cn283 that is related to alpha dacay or related to spontaneous fission
so another data is absent
if 4.0 s +13-7 is belong to alpha decay then what is half life of spontaneous fission
am i right?

dear phyzguy
as i said
when we have 2 or more types of decay we need 2 or more data for half life
but in that link and another references just 1 number reported as half life
may be I am wrong
 
There is just one half life. It is the time until 50% decayed, no matter which type of decay happened.

You can get partial decay widths (sometimes interpreted as a "partial half life") from the half life and the branching fractions.

dear mfb

Tnq 4 your reply

I think reported half life is related to dominant mode

for probability calculation we need 2 half lifes to use following formulas:

P% alpha decay =(alpha decay width)/(alpha decay width + fission width)
P% fission =(fission width)/(alpha decay width + fission width)

for using these formulas we should have both fission and alpha half lifes

No, mfb is right. There is just one half-life which includes all decay modes. You're given the total decay width (from the half life) and the branching fractions, so you can calculate the partial decay widths, just like mfb said.

I do not understand
Where do these percentages come from?
Is not it necessary to have 2 data to calculate percentages?
How can we calculate these branch ratios with just one half-life?
 
  • #12
The branching ratios are not calculated from the half life, they are measured, typically by counting the decays for superheavy nuclides. The half life is measured as well.
From these two measurements together you can calculate partial decay widths.

TNQ very much dear mfb

U R right
