Name: The α -decay Q value of ^238U is 4.268 MeV. Caiculate the height B of the Coulomb barrier between the α particle and the daughter nucleus, assuming that the nuclear potential has a sharp edge at a radius of 1.4 A^1 / 3fm (see Figure 3.10). Calculate the distance b beyond which the α -particle kinetic energy is positive.
