摘要
We incorporate the nuclear medium effect into alpha-decay calculation through a reformulation of the conventional double-folding model. The improved model enables the alpha cluster to simultaneously change its size at different nuclear density during the Coulomb penetration process, thus reflecting the effect from the variation of nuclear mean field and Pauli blocking at the nuclear surface. To evaluate the result of such a dynamic effect, we perform a systematic calculation of alpha-decay half-lives for even-even alpha-emitters within a deformed cluster model. We found that the medium effect optimises the shape of alpha-nucleus potential at the surface region, leading to a remarkable reduction in the deviations between the theoretical and experimental decay rates. The result implies the importance of the dynamic aspect of alpha clustering in describing a realistic alpha-nucleus interaction. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
