Coulomb-induced α decay and cluster emission within the superasymmetric fission model for the collision of238U on238U

Abstract
The alpha decay and the exotic radioactive emission of heavy ions are assumed to be superasymmetric fission processes. These processes are studied as transitions from Coulomb-excited states of the parent nucleus into excited states of the daughter nucleus. For their description the authors use the superasymmetric fission model and generalise it. Within this generalised model they calculate the cross section for the Coulomb-induced alpha decay in collisions of 238U on 238U below the Coulomb barrier and estimate the cross section for the Coulomb-induced cluster emission. The influence of prompt Coulomb-induced alpha decay is also discussed.
