Solving for the Trajectories for a Monopole in a Singular Defect system

Keaton Wright

In this project, we analytically solve for the complete set of trajectories of one magnetic monopole in the presence of another, infinitely heavy, monopole, working in the context of a recently obtained collective coordinate model for the motion.  By integrating the equations of motion in all possible initial conditions, we determine the period of bound trajectories and the scattering angle for unbound trajectories and also generate three-dimensional simulations of the energy density during the motion.
