Cluster decay, as a special type of radioactive decay, up to date, is widely investigated. Nevertheless, until now, this activity is restricted: from one side by the possibilities of theoretical analysis, where some success is obtained for light nuclei only; and from another side only by experiments for nuclei defragmentation in searching for fission on magic nuclei. However, standard methods of radiometry and statistical analysis have not yet been applied. Such possibility can be realized by searching for acts of cluster decay as a rare event on an array of alpha-decay acts of actinides, which are recorded by industrial ionization fission chambers. The scheme of the experiment is discussed, which consists in the registration of every act of alpha-decay, against the background of which it is possible to detect the presence of nuclear clusters based on isotopes of 12,14С, 20О, and others, which can be formed in the decay of 234,235U. The requirements for electronics and the background conditions for such an experiment are discussed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
