Correlation between alpha preformation probability, decay half-life and barrier assault frequency

Calculation of alpha particle preformation probabilities for some alpha emitters is considered in the framework of a recent proposed barrier penetration formula, by two different approximations. The behavior of alpha particle preformation probability with the variation of neutron and proton numbers of parent nuclei for isotopes, in the range 74≤Z≤12274≤Z≤122, and isotones, in the range 124≤N≤132124≤N≤132, is investigated. The same correlations are then studied for the alpha decay half-life, the barrier assault frequency, barrier height and barrier penetration probability. Strong correlations are found and in a good agreement with experimental expectations.
