## Abstract

We calculate the ground, first intrinsic excited states and density distribution for neutron-rich thorium and uranium isotopes, within the framework of relativistic mean field(RMF) approach using axially deformed basis. The total nucleon densities are calculated, from which the cluster-structures inside the parent nuclei are determined. The possible modes of decay, like {\\alpha}-decay and \\b{eta} -decay are analyzed. We find the neutron-rich isotopes are stable against {\\alpha}-decay, however they are very much unstable against \\b{eta} -decay. The life time of these nuclei predicted to be tens of second against \\b{eta} -decay.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
