§33.22(vi) Solutions Inside the Turning Point
The penetrability of repulsive Coulomb potential barriers is normally expressed in terms of the quantity ρ / ( F 2 ( η , ρ ) + G 2 ( η , ρ ) ) (Mott and Massey (1956, pp. 63–65)). …

See Kassel (1995). … It involves q -generalizations of exponentials and Laguerre polynomials, and has been applied to the problems of the harmonic oscillator and Coulomb potentials. …
3: 15.18 Physical Applications
The hypergeometric function has allowed the development of “solvable” models for one-dimensional quantum scattering through and over barriers (Eckart (1930), Bhattacharjie and Sudarshan (1962)), and generalized to include position-dependent effective masses (Dekar et al. (1999)). More varied applications include photon scattering from atoms (Gavrila (1967)), energy distributions of particles in plasmas (Mace and Hellberg (1995)), conformal field theory of critical phenomena (Burkhardt and Xue (1991)), quantum chromo-dynamics (Atkinson and Johnson (1988)), and general parametrization of the effective potentials of interaction between atoms in diatomic molecules (Herrick and O’Connor (1998)).
