A Proposed Test for the Gravitational Tunnel Effect

This article addresses the problem of the tunnel effect with a gravitational potential. Specifically, the quasiclassical formulation is used here, and the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation is applied to the potential. This allows the problem to be solved for different configurations with different values (masses, distances, etc.). The chosen values are intended to provide a clear comparison when varying the different parameters. Furthermore, feasible values are considered for practically replicating the experiment without resorting to astrophysical methods. Due to the low intensity of the gravitational force, these experiments will be difficult to replicate, but it is possible to improve some parameters at the expense of others.
