Probable alpha and ^C cluster emission from hyper Ac nuclei
A systematic study on the probability for the emission of 4^He and 14^C
cluster from hyper {207-234}^Ac and non-strange normal {207-234}^Ac nuclei
are performed for the first time using our fission model, the Coulomb and
proximity potential model (CPPM). The predicted half lives show that hyper
{207-234}^Ac nuclei are unstable against 4^He emission and 14^C emission from
hyper {217-228}^Ac are favorable for measurement. Our study also show that
hyper {207-234}^Ac are stable against hyper 4^He and 14^C emission. The role
of neutron shell closure (N=126) in hyper 214^Fr daughter and role of proton/
neutron shell closure (Z =82, N =126) in hyper 210^Bi daughter are also
revealed. As hyper-nuclei decays to normal nuclei by mesonic/non-mesonic decay
and since most of the predicted half lives for 4^He and 14^C emission from
normal Ac nuclei are favourable for measurement, we presume that alpha and 14^C
cluster emission from hyper Ac nuclei can be detected in laboratory in a
cascade (two-step) process.Comment: 28 pages, 5 figure
