Yukawa Scattering Lab

Classical 2D scattering on a Yukawa center: fire trajectories, measure χ(b), sweep impact parameters, compare Born Ã(q) and a Rutherford-like overlay.

About this tool

Yukawa Scattering Lab — fire a projectile past a Yukawa center V(r)=−g² e^{−mr}/r. Tune impact parameter b, energy E, mediator mass m, and coupling g. RK4 trajectories give the deflection angle χ; Sweep b builds χ(b). The Potential tab shows V(r) and Born Ã(q)∼g²/(q²+m²). Optional near-massless overlay mimics Rutherford. Educational toy, not a quantum Born solver.
