A new semiempirical formula, with only three parameters, is proposed for cluster decay half-lives. The parameters of the formula are obtained by making a least squares fit to the available experimental cluster-decay data. The calculated half-lives are compared with the results of the earlier proposed model-independent scaling law and the empirically fitted analytical super-asymmetric fission model (ASAFM), showing more closeness to the ASAFM results.
