Which consequence results when exceeding the Gamow window, limiting energies required for stellar hydrogen fusion?

💡 Explanation

A lower energy threshold must prevail using quantum tunneling. Higher energies surpass coulomb barrier forces enabling runaway fusion because fusion probability increases exponentially with energy; therefore, a runaway reaction occurs rather than self-regulation at lower fusion rates.
