The Oklo Constraints on Alpha-Decay Half-Lives
E. Chaffin, J. Molgaard
The Oklo data constrain the depth of the nuclear potential well to a small margin of error, determined by various unknowns, such as the reactor temperature. However, we show that e…

A Mathematica Program Using Isotropic Harmonic Oscillator Eigenstates to Model Alpha-Particle Tunneling Half Life Variability
Eugene F. Chaffin, Nicholas W. Gothard, Joshua Tuttle
We have developed a Mathematica program which uses three-dimensional, isotropic harmonic oscillator wavefunctions for the solutions interior to the nucleus, and Coulomb wavefunctio…
