Take the tour ×  I have just written a simple simulation that
models the tunnel-effect of alpha-particles for $^{212}$Po and
$^{238}$Ur. In this simulation, I approximate the potential of
the nucleus by a simple square well. Now I'm thinking about
improving the simple model to a more complex one. My idea is to
superimpose the Wood-Saxon potential with the Coulomb-potential.
The result should look something like this picture:  enter image

Do I just add the Woods-Saxon and the Coulomb-potential?  FOLLOW
UP @dmckee, thanks, it worked and only needed little tweaking.
you were absolutely right!  enter image description here
