Systematic study of alpha decay half-lives using new universal decay law

We have performed a systematic calculation on the alpha decay half-lives of heavy mass nuclei with 106 <= Z <= 118, within the universal decay law (UDL) and modified universal decay law (MUDL). The calculated half-life values are found to be in agreement with the experimental data. The standard deviations of the logarithm of half-lives are found to be the least for MUDL in all cases of even-even, even-odd, odd-even and odd-odd, so the MUDL formula is better than UDL formula for alpha decay studies. We have predicted half-lives of some superheavy nuclei (SHN) in the region Z = 110 - 118 that. are not yet experimentally detected. The decay energies are computed using three different mass models. We hope this study will help future measurements on alpha decay half-lives of SHN.
