Single Particle Closed Orbit in Yukawa Potential

Abstract

We study the orbit of a single particle moving under the Yukawa potential and observe the precessing ellipse type orbits. The amount of precession can be tuned through the coupling parameter $\alpha$. With a suitable choice of the coupling parameter; we can get a closed bound orbit. In some cases we have observed some petals which can also have a closed bound nature with an appropriate choice of the coupling constant. A threshold energy has also been calculated for the boundness of the orbits.
