Abstract

The tunneling probability of potential barrier of the newly synthesized superheavy nuclei starting from ~(263)Hs and ~(260)Bh was calculated with the Generalized Liquid Drop Model(GLDM) connected with WKB approximation and their half-lives studied.The calculated results that are in agreement with the experimental data show that theα-decay half-lives of superheavy nuclei with the Generalized Liquid Drop Model connecting with WKB approximation can be successfully applied in the study of superheavy nuclei and describe theα-decay of superheavy nuclei.The results also indicate that the syntheses of new nuclei ~(260)Bh and ~(263)Hs and the measurements of theirα-decay half-lives are reliable.
