Abstract

Microscopic description of heavier decays than α-particle decay is a much more difficult task within the α-like theory. Still the preformation amplitude can be estimated in an approximate way for heavy cluster decays, until the 14C emission. This procedure is extensively presented here. We give numerical results for the emission of 14C. Then we describe the fission-like theory of emission processes, based on the Two Center Shell Model.
