Would anyone care to define each of the symbols on this page explicitly? That would be a service to the general public. Symbols make things brief for those who already understand, but impenetrable for those who are learning.

Hi, I am not a physicist, but just performing a basic dimensional analysis, with the parameters defined as the article does, you can see the exponent in the 1st equation (-mr) is not dimensionless. I am tempted to fix it myself but the article goes further and that is well beyond my abilities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superfloccinaucinihilipilification ( talk • contribs) 16:35, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, the k you introduced in the first formula is in conflict to the V(k) in the last formula. Using formula 1, Fourier transform yields V(k) ~ 4π / ((km)^2 + k^2). In quantum mechanics, k is always reserved for calculations in momentum space ( p = hk/2π). 14:28, 02 November 2013 (UTC+1) — Preceding

The article lacks a consistent convention on constants. In the coordinate representation and are kept, but in fourier space they're not! |

how can -g²/r give the Coulomb potential given by U=Q/(eps°r4pi)??? Ra-raisch ( talk) 23:44, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
I would remove
In the SI system, the unit of the Yukawa potential is (1/meters).
or explain immediately what is g^2 Suppongoche ( talk) 23:18, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Another question: I understand
... the fermions would be a proton and another proton or a neutron.
as "there is no Yukawa interaction between two neutrons". Something seems wrong: the statement, my physical knowledge or my english. May you help me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suppongoche ( talk • contribs) 23:25, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Last point: I arrived here searching for the value of alpha, that was evidently known from the start (if the pion mass could be estimated). Is it possible to give it Suppongoche ( talk) 23:31, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
"(also called a screened Coulomb potential)" -- Who calls it? In three decades working in nuclear physics I never ever heard these words in connection to Yukawa potential. Btw, there is no screening. -- Wassermaus ( talk) 09:47, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
