How do I fit a Gaussian curve to this data? [duplicate]

I'm new to R and am trying to get a curve to fit to this scatter data that gives me a Gaussian curve. I'd really appreciate any help. Data:

library(tidyverse)
MK20 <- tribble(~X.Intensity,    ~Average,
             0.400,  0.0000000,
             0.463,  0.0000000,

             2.010,  0.0000000,

             1280.000,  0.0000000,
             1480.000,  0.0000000,
             1720.000,  0.0000000,
             1990.000,  0.0000000,
             2300.000,  0.0000000,
             2670.000,  0.0000000,
             3090.000,  0.0000000,
             3580.000,  0.0000000,
             4150.000,  0.0000000,

             7460.000,  0.0000000,
             8630.000,  0.0000000)

The code I'm using to plot is:

plot(log10(MK20$X.Intensity), MK20$Average, col=1, xlim=c(-0.5,4), ylim=c(0,20), xlab="Log(Average diameter)", ylab="Intensity", xaxt='n')

I'm using the minor.tick.axis function to add minor ticks on the logarithmic x axis. I want to add a Gaussian curve (which fits best) to this data. I tried to add a type='l' on the plot but the curve wasn't smooth and I don't want a curve that necessarily touches every data point but one that fits best.

I'm sorry if the solution is simple but I haven't been able to figure it out.
