E E Problem 2 [2 pts.) The energy dependence of the fusion rate is contained in the integrand (a.k.a. Gamow peak), R-S exp E dE (see class notes p. 97). The Gamow peak maximum can be obtained k, T from -R in other words by differentiating the exp-function. Show that this leads to the Ek) expression E, constant, which is a good approximation unless there occurs a resonance.) d dE Es (4,7%)". (Generat note: this calculation assumes that the nuclear S-factor is
