=Gamow Peak= The Gamow Peak models the energy level that maximizes the probability of nuclear fusion or alternatively, the reaction rate of fusion in a star. It is defined as the product of the Coulomb tunneling probability and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. The area under the Gamow Peak is directly related to the reaction rate of fusion.

Concept
The reaction rate can be described as:

$$ r=n_an_b $$
