THE TUNNEL EFFECT FOR EXAMPLE OF A URANIUM NUCLEUS

. Aim of the article is to consider a simplified model of tunneling of an α -particle in the uranium nucleus. Methodology . Based on the combination of two quantum-mechanical models, the transparency of the potential barrier as a function of the main quantum number is calculated. Results . The transparency of the potential barrier for α -particle in the field of nuclear forces of uranium is calculated depending on the main quantum number. Research implications . The functional dependence of the barrier transparency on the main quantum number is constructed, and the results obtained are discussed.
