Abstract
Coulomb screening effects are studied in very low-energy nuclear reactions. The two-potential formalism is shown to be a convenient method for the separation of long-range (molecular) and short-range (nuclear) dynamics. As specific applications, electron screening effects and muon catalysis in nuclear reactions are investigated. In the case of electron screening in very low-energy nuclear reactions a method is elaborated for calculation of the enhancement of the astrophysical factor. For muon catalyzed fusion reactions the sudden approximation is shown to be valid even if the reaction is dominated by a long lived nuclear resonance. (author) 37 refs.
