Predicted α-decay chain of new element 119 isotopes (²⁹³,²⁹⁴119), highlighting several as-yet-undiscovered nuclei. The proposed use of ⁴⁰Ar beams offers a promising approach for synthesizing key ...
Alpha decay represents a fundamental mode of radioactive disintegration wherein an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle—a tightly bound cluster of two protons and two neutrons. This process not ...
