Hi Steven,

I don't think this question has a rational answer. The Coulomb barrier is a force that is equal to the charge times a constant. Attempts have been made using theory to relate the force to distance. The force appears to drop off with distance according to an exponential function. Therefore, it does not have a radius any more than the gravitational field of the earth has a radius.

Regards,
Ed

Jones, or anyone...

My apologies if this question has already been answered: Does the
radius of the Coulomb barrier change with the size and number of
protons and neutrons associated with a nucleus? I wuz wondering if the
CB was a fixed constant.
