In our paper (Haubold and John 1978) we succeeded in a closed-form evaluation of the reaction rate by means of a special function, known as Meijer's G-function

This representation of the rate is appropriate to perform analytical operations (e.g. for the computation of energy generation in a fusion plasma).
