Determination of Coulomb barrier using X-ray spectroscopy technique

The interface between atomic and nuclear physics is a region of interplay of different quantum dynamical effects. Around the Coulomb barrier, one may explore the interesting behaviour of different atomic and nuclear processes. Careful study of these processes can explore the physics around the Coulomb barrier region and may give a way to measure the barrier too. Though numerous experimental work and theoretical calculations are found in literature for determination of Coulomb barrier. Nevertheless, the atomic techniques have not yet been employed for this purpose. In the present work we are reporting a novel method to extract the Coulomb barrier energies in two body systems using x-ray spectroscopy technique
