Systematic study of proton radioactivity of spherical proton emitters within various versions of proximity potential formalisms
In this work we present a systematic study of the proton radioactivity
half-lives of spherical proton emitters within the Coulomb and proximity
potential model. We investigate 28 different versions of the proximity
potential formalisms developed for the description of proton radioactivity,
decay and heavy particle radioactivity. It is found that 21
of them are not suitable to deal with the proton radioactivity, because the
classical turning points cannot be obtained due to the fact
that the depth of the total interaction potential between the emitted proton
and the daughter nucleus is above the proton radioactivity energy. Among the
other 7 versions of the proximity potential formalisms, it is Guo2013 which
gives the lowest rms deviation in the description of the experimental
half-lives of the known spherical proton emitters. We use this proximity
potential formalism to predict the proton radioactivity half-lives of 13
spherical proton emitters, whose proton radioactivity is energetically allowed
or observed but not yet quantified, within a factor of 3.71.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures. This paper has been accepted by The European

Advantages of the multinucleon transfer reactions based on 238U target for producing neutron-rich isotopes around N = 126
The mechanism of multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions for producing
neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 is investigated within two different
theoretical frameworks: dinuclear system (DNS) model and isospin-dependent
quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. The effects of mass asymmetry
relaxation, N=Z equilibration, and shell closures on production cross sections
of neutron-rich heavy nuclei are investigated. For the first time, the
advantages for producing neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 is found in
MNT reactions based on 238U target. We propose the reactions with 238U target
for producing unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 in the future.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
