Abstract

The alpha decay half-lives of actinides within modified generalized liquid drop model (MGLDM) are investigated by the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) barrier penetration probability. The potential barrier was studied taking in to account of nuclear proximity, coulomb interaction and centrifugal potential with the inclusion of angular momentum. This work predicts the alpha decay half-lives of unknown actinide nuclei such as $^{248}$ Am, $^{235, 237, 252}$ Cm, $^{248, 252, 253}$ Bk, $^{247}$ Es and $^{248}$ No. The calculated alpha decay half-lives reproduce accurately the experimental data. The predictions provided for the alpha decay half-lives within the MGLDM may be helpful for identifying the new isotopes in this field.
