The triple alpha reaction is a key to $^{12}$C production and is expected to occur in weakly-coupled, thermal plasmas as encountered in normal stars. We investigate how Coulomb screening affects the structure of a system of three alpha…

These descriptive comments are made to encourage detailed three-body, relativistic, quantum collision calculations for the pp reaction. In stars, coulomb barrier tunneling, as in the pp reaction, is not a two-body process. Tunneling is…
