Which outcome results when exceeding Gamow energy threshold?

A)Increased nuclear fusion reaction rate
B)Decreased alpha particle emission
C)Enhanced neutron capture cross-section
D)Reduced radioactive decay constant

💡 Explanation

Increased energy allows particles to overcome the Coulomb barrier via quantum tunneling during nuclear fusion. Because the kinetic energy matches the electrostatic repulsion, fusion rate increases; therefore, fusion efficiently occurs rather than the other options that describe radioactive decay.
