چکیده
We review some modern applications of the theory of fewbody encounters between binaries and single stars. In particular we focus on the treatment of adiabatic encounters, in a regime which is of importance in encounters between a star and a planetary system in a star cluster.

Scattering of Gravitational Waves by the Weak Gravitational Fields of Lens Objects
We consider the scattering of the gravitational waves by the weak gravitational fields of lens objects. We obtain the scattered gravitational waveform by treating the gravitational potential of the lens to first order, i.e. the Born approximation. We find that the effect of scattering on the waveform is roughly given by the Schwartzchild radius of the lens divided by the wavelength of gravitati...
متن کاملOn high energy scattering inside gravitational backgrounds
We analyze the high energy scattering inside gravitational backgrounds using ’t Hooft’s formalism. The scattering is equivalent to geodesic shifts accross Aichelburg-Sexl waves inside the gravitational backgrounds. We find solutions for A-S waves inside various backgrounds and analyze them.
متن کاملClassical and Non-Classical ADD-phenomenology with high-E⊥ jet observables at collider experiments
We use the results from a recent investigation of hard parton–parton gravitational scattering in the ADD scenario to make semi-quantitative predictions for a few standard high-E⊥ jet observables at the LHC. By implementing these gravitational scattering results in the PYTHIA event generator and combining it with the CHARYBDIS generator for black holes, we investigate the effects of large extra ...
متن کاملFactorization of gravitational Compton scattering amplitude in the linearized version of general relativity.
Gravitational Compton scattering process with a massive fermion is studied in the context of the linearized gravity. Gravitational gauge invariance and graviton transversality cause the transition amplitude to be factorized into that of scalar QED Compton scattering and that of fermion QED Comp-ton scattering with an overall kinematical factor. The factorization is shown explicitly and its phys...
متن کاملScattering of Gravitational Radiation Second Order Moments of the Wave Amplitude
Gravitational radiation that propagates through an inhomogeneous mass distribution is subject to random gravitational lensing, or scattering, causing variations in the wave amplitude and temporal smearing of the signal. A statistical theory is constructed to treat these effects. The statistical properties of the wave amplitude variations are a direct probe of the power spectrum of the mass dist...
متن کاملGravitational scattering of massless scalars in QFT and superstring theory
In this paper we perform the calculation of the gravitational scattering amplitude for 4 massless scalars in quantum field theory and Type II superstring theory. We show that the results agree, providing an example of how gravity is incorporated in the superstring theory. During the calculation we quantize gravitational action to derive graviton propagator and interaction vertex with massless s...
