Coulomb's gap and Wave Equation

raknath · Jan 16, 2011

Hi all

I was wondering if I could solve the Schrödinger's equation to see the limiting velocity for a proton to tunnel through the coulomb gap in order for the first equation in the fusion reaction to occur

Thanks a lot

Why can't you use the WKB approximation?
