摘要
The alpha decays of even-even Ra, Th, U, and Pu isotopes to ground and excited states of daughter nuclei with neutron numbers of N = 130-140 are investigated. These nuclei show some enhanced alpha-branching ratios to negative-parity states (1-, 3-), compared with the decays to positive-parity states (4+) of comparable energy. This enhancement correlates with appearance of static octupole deformation, rather than spherical nuclear shapes or dynamic asymmetric vibrational states. The highly enhanced branching ratios occur for alpha decays to the 1- and 3- states of the Ra isotopes with N = 134, 136, 138, then to 1- state in Th (N = 134-140) and to the 3- state in Rn (N = 132-136) isotopes.
