Possible alpha decay of ^151,152,168Yb

According to [1], ¹⁶⁸Yb should have an alpha decay half-life at the order of 10²⁴ years. Alpha decay could be non-ignorable compared to double beta: Assuming that logT^2β = A logQ^2β + B and using the trend shown in [2], its double beta decay half-life should be at the order of 10²³ years.

According to [3], ¹⁵¹Yb (N = 81) and ¹⁵²Yb (N = 82) should respectively have a partial alpha decay half-life of at least 10¹⁴ years and 10⁹ years.

When can we add them to the table?

These neutron-rich nuclei, ¹⁸⁶Yb and ¹⁸⁷Yb and relevant sources for them ([4], [5]) ... However by this time, these sources and the discovery are still too recent so I'm afraid of immediately adding new entries to the data table of Tm, Yb and Lu isotopes by myself. 2402:800:63AD:F40F:2D30:F831:4BD7:6FBA (talk) 12:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Recent publication is not an issue so long as the article has been peer-reviewed and published in a (reputable) journal – and the linked article in Physical Review Letters certainly has been. We're good to add them to their respective articles. ^Complex/_Rational 16:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
