If the mass of the daughter nucleus is 223.610 amu and that of the alpha particle is 4.002 amu, determine the total kinetic energy

A nucleus at rest undergoes alpha decay emitting an alpha particle of de Broglie wavelength lemda = 5.76 * 10^-15 m. If the mass of the daughter nucleus is 223.610 amu and that of the alpha particle is 4.002 amu, determine the total kinetic energy

The element curium 218 Cm 96 has a mean-life of 10^13 S. Its primary decay modes are spontaneous fission and alpha decay the former with a probability of 8% and the latter with a probability of 92%.
