Role of nuclear radii in the exotic cluster-decay

Abstract

We have calculated the half-lives of ${}^{56}$Ni${}^{\ast }$ within PCM for clusters ${\ge }^{16}$O. The cluster decay half-lives studied with respect to radius formula due to Royer (R${}_{Royer}$) shows that the half-lives lie within $\pm$7%, excluding Bass radius formula where these lie within $\pm$10%.
