Abstract: The quantum-mechanical transmission through a disordered tunnel barrier is investigated analytically in the following regime: (correlation range of the random potential) << (penetration length) << (barrier length). The mean and/or the width of the potential can either be constant, or vary slowly across the barrier. The typical transmission is found to be a non-monotonic function of the disorder strength, increasing at weak disorder, reaching a maximum in the crossover from weak to strong disorder, and decreasing at strong disorder. This work provides a quantitative analysis of the phenomenon of disorder-induced enhanced tunneling, put forward by Freilikher et al. [Phys. Rev. E {�f 51}, 6301 (1995); B {�f 53}, 7413 (1996)].
