    摘要: In this study, the effect of extreme laser fields on the decay process of ground-state eveneven nuclei was investigated. Using the deformed Gamow-like model, we found that state-of-the-art lasers can cause a slight change in the decay penetration probability of most nuclei. In addition, we studied the correlation between the rate of change of the decay penetration probability and angle between the directions of the laser electric field and particle emission for different nuclei. Based on this correlation, the average effect of extreme laser fields on the half-life of many nuclei with arbitrary particle emission angles was calculated. The calculations show that the laser suppression and promotion effects on the decay penetration probability of the nuclei population with completely random particle-emission directions are not completely canceled. The remainder led to a change in the average penetration probability of the nuclei. Furthermore, the possibility of achieving a higher average rate of change by altering the spatial shape of the laser is explored. We conclude that circularly polarized lasers may be helpful in future experiments to achieve a more significant average rate of change of the decay half-life of the nuclei population.
