TL;DR: In this article, the lifetime of the recently produced isotopes of elements 112, 114, 116, and ${}^{294}118$ and of some decay products are calculated theoretically within the WKB approximation by use of microscopic \ensuremath{\alpha}-nucleus interaction potentials.

TL;DR: Theoretical estimates for the lifetimes of several isotopes of heavy elements with Z = 102 − 120 are presented by calculating the quantum mechanical tunneling probability in a WKB framework and using microscopic nucleus-nucleus potential obtained by folding the densities of interacting nuclei with the DDM3Y effective nuclear interaction.

TL;DR: The existence of long lived superheavy nuclei (SHN) is controlled mainly by spontaneous fission and α-decay processes according to microscopic nuclear theory, spherical shell effects at Z=114, 120, 126, and N=184 provide the extra stability to such SHN to have long enough lifetime to be observed as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simultaneous description of nonstrange nuclei and hypernuclei is provided by a single mass formula inspired by the spin-flavour SU(6) symmetry breaking.

TL;DR: Theoretical estimates of the α-decay half-life of several nuclei in the decay from element 113 are presented in this article. But the decay lifetime is sensitive to the Q-values and angular momentum transfers, owing to more penetrability as well as thinner barrier.
