24. Global Properties of Nuclear Decay Modes

摘要

A limit of existing of nuclei is discussed by using a global nuclear mass model, the KTUY mass formula. To estimate total half-lives of nuclei, alpha decay, beta decay, proton emission and spontaneous fission are considered. These calculation gives prediction for existing of approximately ten thousands nuclei including nuclei beyond so-called superheavy nuclei with half-lives of one nanosecond or longer.
