One of my nuclear physics exercises was to find out if increasing the pressure of a sample of ^{7}\textrm{Be} would increase the chance of electron capture to ^{7}\textrm{Li} occur. My reasoning was that the electron wave function is not pressure dependent and therefor it would not increase the...

Thanks for your reply, but I found the solution by comparing it to \frac{e^{-1}}{x+1} . Should I delete this thread now?

State if the following integral converges or diverges, and justify your claim. \int_{-1}^{1} \frac{e^x}{x+1}\,dx I tried using the comparison theorem by comparing it to \frac{1}{x+1} . But for the interval (-1,0) the function is smaller for all x. So I could not conclude whether it...
