α decay energies and half-lives from a macroscopic-microscopic model

alpha decay energies of 323 heavy nuclei with Z >= 82 are evaluated with a macroscopic-microscopic model. In this model, the macroscopic part is treated by the continuous medium model and the microscopic part consists of shell and pairing corrections based on the Nilsson potential. alpha decay half-lives are calculated by Viola-Seaborg formula. The results of alpha decay energies and half-lives are compared with experimental values and satisfactory agreement is found. The recoiling effect of the daughter nucleus on alpha decay half-life is also discussed.
