Abstract
This review summarizes both the experimental and theoretical status of cluster radioactivity. The contents are: a brief introduction, the experimental methods used and the results obtained, the theories of cluster radioactivity, cluster-decay as (cold) super-asymmetric spontaneous fission, and its fine structure. The theories studied are the unified fission models (UFM), the preformed cluster models (PCM), and the comparison between empirical and theoretical preformation probabilities. A brief discussion of other theories, not studied so much in detail, is also given. An overview of this research is added at the end, pointing out, in particular, its relation to other phenomena.Keywords
