Abstract

The half-lives of different spherical proton emitters are calculated. The preformed cluster model modified into a unified fission model of Gupta and collaborators with the effects of Coulomb repulsion, nuclear attraction due to proximity potential, and rotational energy due to angular momentum is used for the calculations. This includes the study of observed ground and isomeric state proton emitters of 26 proton-rich nuclei. The results are compared with experimental results and other theoretical calculations. The calculated results are in fair agreement with experimental values. It is evident from some experiments that α decay is a competing mode of branching for proton decay. Hence, the half-lives of α decay from these proton emitters are also presented for s waves.
