Abstract

A very interesting topic of nuclear physics is the study of nuclear instability, which played so far an important role in the foundation and development of nuclear physics. In fact, it can offer information about the nuclear structure, the nuclear levels and the properties of nuclei. Here a review of recent experimental searches for rare alpha decays will be presented. During the last years, the improvements in experimental techniques and the availability of deep underground locations for the experiments have allowed suitable investigations of rare alpha decays, and the observation of some previously unseen (because of their long half-lives: 10^15 –10^20 yr) ones. Experimental aspects, results and perspectives will be outlined.
