Did you see this recent post as follows: ===============================
If you remember this thread as follows: * * Entangled proton pairs show enhanced tunneling – 1/31/12 Why do entangled proton pairs pass through the coulomb barrier of a heavy element nucleus with high probability in collisions with energies well below those required to breach this barrier? This curiosity has been observed is heavy low energy ion collision studies. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1101.1393.pdf This letter presents evidence that (1) 2p transfer (and not _-particle transfer) is the dominant transfer process leading to _Z = 2 events in the reaction 16O+208Pb at energies well below the fusion barrier, and (2) 2p transfer is significantly enhanced compared to predictions assum- ing the sequential transfer of uncorrelated protons, with absolute probabilities as high as those of 1p transfer at energies near the fusion barrier. Measurements of transfer probabilities in various reac- tions and at energies near the fusion barrier have there- fore been utilized to investigate the role of pairing corre- lations between the transferred nucleons. Pairing effects are believed to lead to a significant enhancement of pair and multi-pair transfer probabilities [2, 4{7]. Closely re- lated to the phenomenon of pairing correlations is the nuclear Josephson effect [8], which is understood as the tunneling of nucleon pairs (i.e. nuclear Cooper-pairs) through a time-dependent barrier at energies near but be- low the fusion barrier. This effect is believed to be similar to that of a supercurrent between two superconductors separated by an insulator. An enhancement of the trans- fer probability at sub-barrier energies is therefore com- monly related to the tunneling of (multi-)Cooper-pairs from one superfluid nucleus to the other [2]. Following up on this thread as follows: There has been a new type of Klein tunneling proposed where a high-potential barrier can be made transparent. Even though the barrier is impenetrable for single particles, it becomes transparent when the two particles cross the energy barrier together.
