Abstract：
The Viola-Seaborg formula is a well-known formula for α decay half-life of heavy nuclei. In this work we obtain a set of new parameters for this formula through a least-square fit to even-even nuclei between Z= 84 and Z=110 with N greater than 126. On average, the formula can reproduce the half-lives of heavy even-even nuclei with a factor of 1.3. In order to improve the calculated results for odd-A nuclei and for odd-odd nuclei, we obtain a generalized form of the Viola-Seaborg formula by including the influence of orbital angular momentum of α particle on half-lives of odd-A nuclei and odd-odd nuclei. On average, half-lives of odd-A and odd-odd nuclei can be reproduced with a factor of 2.5 by the generalized Viola-Seaborg formula.
