Consider an alpha particle emission from a 238U nucleus, which emits a 4.2 MeV α particle. The α particle is contained inside the nuclear radius rN≈ 7 x 10-15m. Find the barrier height and the distance the α particle must tunnel and use the square-top potential to calculate the tunneling probability
