Abstract
We have performed a theoretical study of the effects of pinning potential and\ndissipation on vortex tunneling in superconductors. Analytical results are\nobtained in various limits relevant to experiment. In general we have found\nthat pinning and dissipation tend to suppress the effect of the vortex velocity\ndependent part of the Magnus force on vortex tunneling.\n
