Abstract:This study provides an improved understanding of the penetration probabilities (PPs) in nuclear reactions of light nuclei by correcting the assumptions used in the conventional Gamow factor. The Gamow factor effectively describes the PP in nuclear reactions based on two assumptions: low particle energy than the Coulomb barrier and neglecting the dependence of nuclear interaction potential. However, we find that the assumptions are not valid for light nuclei. As a result of a calculation that excludes the assum… Show more
