ALPHA DECAY OF DEFORMED EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI
Approximate analytic methods are developed for calculating the amplitudes of alpha partial waves at the surface of deformed even-even nuclei. A two-term expansion modifying the ordinary Coulomb function to account for nuclear quadrupole coupling is applied. The amplitudes of alpha partial waves at the nuclear surface are tabulated for eight choices of phase and three values of the intrinsic nuclear quadrupole moment. A detailed comparison is made between this treatment, that of Froman, and the numerical integration of Rasmussen and Hansen for Cm/sup 242/. An approximate method of calculating phase shifts induced by the nuclear quadrupole moment is developed and compared with the results of Rasmussen and Hansen for Cm/sup 242/ . (auth)
