Alpha radioactivity for proton-rich even Pb isotopes

Half-lives for alpha radioactivity from proton-rich even Pb isotopes in the range A = 182–202 have been calculated using the unified fission-like approach. The geometrical shape of the potential barrier is parametrized in terms of a highly versatile, asymmetric and analytically solvable form of potential based on Ginnochio’s potential. Good agreement with the experimental data has been obtained with the variation of just one parameter. Half-lives of three unknown alpha emitters in the neutron-deficient Pb chain (¹⁹⁸Pb, ²⁰⁰Pb and ²⁰⁴Pb) have been predicted. The exact expression for the transmission coefficient has been compared with those obtained from WKB approximation method for symmetric Eckart potential.
