Abstract
Starting from three-parameter Fermi distribution of nuclear densities, we used two formulas, for calculating the half-density radius, to study the effect of variation of radius of daughter nucleus on both α-decay half-life and α-preformation factor. We compared the results of the aforementioned two formulas with the corresponding results obtained from the nuclear densities of Hartree-Fock calculation derived from the BSk2 Skyrme force. We considered >60 isotopes of Po and Rn α-emitter elements and studied the variation of half-life and preformation factor with density parameters. We found that the variation of density parameters of daughter nuclei highly affects the calculated half-life and the extracted value of preformation factor, but the behavior of these two quantities with variation of parent neutron number is almost independent of the density parameters.
