Theoretical approaches to alpha decay half-lives of super-heavy nuclei

We consider the systematics of alpha-decay half-lives of super-heavy nuclei versus the decay energy and the total alpha-kinetic energy. We calculate the half-lives using the experimental Q(alpha) values. The computed half-lives are compared with the experimental data and with existing empirical estimates and are found to be in good agreement. Also, we obtain alpha-preformation factors from the ratio between theoretical and experimental results for some super heavy nuclei and evaluate the standard deviation. The results indicate the acceptability of the approach.
