The early stages of heavy ion collisions are dominated by high density systems of gluons that carry each a small fraction $x$ of the momenta of the colliding nucleons. A distinguishing feature of such systems is the phenomenon of…
We study the possibility of low energy nuclear fusion assisted by a low energy resonance. We use a simple potential model and replace repulsive Coulomb barrier with a step potential barrier. This is convenient since it allows us to perform…
