Problem 1 [3 pts.) In class we calculated the transmission coefficient T for p-p fusion at a temperature of 10K to be about exp(-22) - 10- (see class notes p. 96). Now consider the situation of two approaching He-4 nuclei at the same temperature (use here also E = 1 keV). Calculate the classical distance of closest approach rc and the corresponding transmission coefficient T.
