In the WKB approximation, the probability of this process is given by e to the minus integral of the wave number between turning points, all over the square of one plus one-fourth the same exponential. The preformation probability times the rebound frequency times the probability of this process gives the rate of alpha decay in the Gamow [GAM-off] model. Because the wavefunction decays exponentially in regions of high potential, the wave function amplitude is in general non-zero outside of finite potential barriers, which explains this process. The transmission coefficient gives the probability of this process. For 10 points, name this phenom

The transmission coefficient gives the probability of this process. For 10 points, name this phenomenon in which a particle crosses a potential barrier of energy greater than its own energy, a process that is not classically allowed.
