A systematic study of alpha and cluster decay in Platinum isotopes

The feasibility of alpha and cluster decay from Pt isotopes has been investigated within the framework of Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. Calculation has been carried out for various Skyrme forces. Harmonic oscillator and transformed harmonic oscillator basis are used to solve HFB equations. The role played by shell closure is withal analysed. Half-lives are estimated with the help of Universal Decay Law (UDL). Geiger-Nuttel plots are also plotted and successfully preserves its linear nature.
