Abstract

The present work used eight different proximity functions in the modified liquid drop model [MGLDM] to study the cluster and alpha decay half-lives in the superheavy nuclei Z = 120. The values produced by the present work are compared with experiments. We have explored the proximity function is suitable in MGLDM for the cluster and alpha radioactivity of superheavy nuclei. The present work is useful in the study of decay modes of superheavy nuclei Z = 120.
