$\alpha$-decay properties of ${}^{296}118$ from double-folding potentials

Abstract

$\alpha$-decay properties of the yet unknown nucleus ${}^{296}$118 are predicted using the systematic behavior of parameters of $\alpha$-nucleus double-folding potentials. The results are $Q_{\alpha }=11.655\pm 0.095$ MeV and $T_{1/2}=0.825$ ms with an uncertainty of about a factor of 4.
