He reaction proceeding in a gas environment with regard to electron screening [1–4]. Results from such an analysis are presented. An electron screening potential of 121 eV is obtained. The magnitude of this potential is three times higher than the one given in [5]. Starting with a 100 eV energy of particle interaction the cross sections of
