In the present work, combining with the Geiger-Nuttall law, a two-parameter empirical formula is proposed to study the two-proton (2p) radioactivity. Using this formula, the calculated 2p radioactivity half-lives are in good agreement with the experimental data as well as the calculated ones obtained by Goncalves et al: ([Phys. Lett. B 774, 14 (2017)]) using the effective liquid drop model (ELDM), Sreeja et al: ([Eur. Phys. J. A 55, 33 (2019)]) using a four-parameter empirical formula and Cui et al: ([Phys. Rev. C 101: 014301 (2020)]) using a generalized liquid drop model (GLDM). In addition, this two-parameter empirical formula is extended to predict the half-lives of 22 possible 2p radioactivity candidates, whose the 2p radioactivity released energy Q2p>0, obtained from the latest evaluated atomic mass table AME2016. The predicted results have good consistency with ones using other theoretical models such as the ELDM, GLDM and four-parameter empirical formula.

In the present work considering the contributions of the daughter nuclear charge and the orbital angular momentum taken away by the emitted proton, we propose a two-parameter formula of new Geiger-Nuttall law for proton radioactivity. A set of universal parameters of this law is obtained by fitting 44 experimental data of proton emitters in the ground state and isomeric state. The calculated results can reproduce the experimental data well. For a comparison, the calculations performed using other theoretical methods, such as UDLP proposed by Qi, et al. [https://journals.aps.org/prc/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevC.85.011303], the CPPM-Guo2013 analyzed by our previous work [Deng, et al., https://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epja/i2019-12728-0] and the modified Gamow-like model proposed by us [Chen, et al., https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6471/ab1a56] are also included. Meanwhile, we extend this new Geiger-Nuttall law to predict the proton radioactivity half-lives for $51 leq Z leq 91$ nuclei, whose proton radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified in NUBASE2016.
Nowadays quantum-mechanical theory allows one to reliably calculate the processes of 2p radioactivity (true three-body decays) and the corresponding energy and angular correlations up to distances of the order of 1000 fm. However, the precision of modern experiments has now become sufficient to indicate some deficiency of the predicted theoretical distributions. In this paper we discuss the extrapolation along the classical trajectories as a method to improve the convergence of the theoretical energy and angular correlations at very large distances (of the order of atomic distances), where only the long-range Coulomb forces are still operating. The precision of this approach is demonstrated using the exactly solvable semianalytical models with simplified three-body Hamiltonians. It is also demonstrated that for heavy 2p emitters, the 2p decay momentum distributions can be sensitive to the effect of the screening by atomic electrons. We compare theoretical results with available experimental data.
In this study, a phenomenological model is proposed based on Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) theory and applied to investigate the two-proton ($2p$) radioactive half-lives of nuclei near or beyond the proton drip line. The total diproton-daughter nucleus interaction potential is composed of the Hulthen-type electrostatic term and the centrifugal term. The calculated $2p$ radioactive half-lives can accurately reproduce the existing 10 experimental datasets of five true $2p$ radioactive nuclei with $sigma$ = 0.736. In addition, we extend this model to predict the half-lives of possible $2p$ radioactive nuclei whose $2p$ radioactivity is energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified in NUBASE2016. The predicted results are in agreement with those obtained using the Gamow-like model, generalized liquid drop model, Sreeja formula, and Liu formula.
Two-proton radioactivity with 2p halo is reported theoretically in light mass nuclei A $=$ 18-34. We predict $^{19}$Mg, $^{22}$Si, $^{26}$S, $^{30}$Ar and $^{34}$Ca as promising candidates of ground state 2p-radioactivity with S$_{2p}$ $<$ 0 and S$_{p}$ $>$ 0. Observation of extended tail of spatial charge density distribution, larger charge radius and study of proton single particle states, Fermi energy and the wave functions indicate 2p halo like structure which supports direct 2p emission. The Coulomb and centrifugal barriers in experimentally identified 2p unbound $^{22}$Si show a quasi-bound state that ensures enough life time for such experimental probes. Our predictions are in good accord with experimental and other theoretical data available so far.
In this work, we systematically study the two-proton($2p$) radioactivity half-lives using the two-potential approach while the nuclear potential is obtained by using Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach with the Skyrme effective interaction of {SLy8}. For true $2p$ radioactivity($Q_{2p}$ $>$ 0 and $Q_p$ $< $0, where the $Q_p$ and $Q_{2p}$ are the released energy of the one-proton and two-proton radioactivity), the standard deviation between the experimental half-lives and our theoretical calculations is {0.701}. In addition, we extend this model to predict the half-lives of 15 possible $2p$ radioactivity candidates with $Q_{2p}$ $>$ 0 taken from the evaluated atomic mass table AME2016. The calculated results indicate that a clear linear relationship between the logarithmic $2p$ radioactivity half-lives $rm{log}_{10}T_{1/2}$ and coulomb parameters [ ($Z_{d}^{0.8}$+$l^{0.25}$)$Q_{2p}^{-1/2}$] considered the effect of orbital angular momentum proposed by Liu $et$ $al$ [Chin. Phys. C textbf{45}, 024108 (2021)] is also existed. For comparison, the generalized liquid drop model(GLDM), the effective liquid drop model(ELDM) and Gamow-like model are also used. Our predicted results are consistent with the ones obtained by the other models.
