Abstract
Résumé

The alpha decay half-lives of Hg isotopes within the range $A = 171 – 212$ have been studied using 25 different versions of nuclear potentials to select the suitable form of nuclear potential for alpha decay studies. The computed standard deviations suggested that the apt potential is BW 91 with a deviation 0.133. The next low deviation is shown by Proximity 1966, Proximity 1984, and Proximity 2003-I, II with deviations less than 0.2. Concerning other potentials, the fact we observed is that almost all the potentials possess a standard deviation less than one. The universal curve studied for alpha decay is observed to show straight line behavior irrespective of the nuclear potential used. Since the predicted alpha half-lives match well the experimental values, the half-lives of certain new Hg alpha emitters have been predicted by the present method.

La période radioactive alpha des isotopes du mercure de nombre de masse A compris entre 171 et 212 a été évaluée à partir de 25 modèles différents de potentiel nucléaire adapté à la radioactivité alpha. Le calcul des écarts types suggère que le potentiel pertinent est BW 91, avec un écart de 0,133. La deuxième place revient à Proximity 1966, suivi de Proximity 1984 et de Proximity 2003-I, II, avec des écarts types inférieurs à 0,2. Les autres potentiels ont presque tous un écart type inférieur à 1. La courbe universelle caractéristique du rayonnement alpha est une droite, quel que soit le potentiel utilisé. Comme les périodes calculées sont en bon accord avec les valeurs expérimentales, on a calculé aussi, par la même méthode, les périodes de quelques émetteurs alpha nouveaux.
