New α-Emitting Isotope ²¹⁴U and Abnormal Enhancement of α-Particle Clustering in Lightest Uranium Isotopes

RADIOACTIVITY ^214,216,218U(α) [from ^180,182W(³⁶Ar, 4n), ¹⁸⁴W(⁴⁰Ca, 2nα), E<200 MeV]; measured decay products, Eα, Iα; deduced α-decay Q-values and reduced widths, T_1/2, abnormal enhancement by the strong monopole interaction between the valence protons and neutrons. Comparison withavailable data, calculations.
