Chaotic features in classical scattering processes between ions and atoms
نویسنده
چکیده
A numerical study has been done of collisions between protons and hydrogen atoms, treated as classical particles, at low impact velocities. The presence of chaos has been looked for by investigating the processes with standard techniques of the chaotic–scattering theory. The evidence of a sharp transition from nearly regular scattering to fully developed chaos has been found at the lower velocities.

Synchronization in non dissipative optical lattices
The dynamics of cold atoms in conservative optical lattices obviously depends on the geometry of the lattice. But very similar lattices may lead to deeply different dynamics. In a 2D optical lattice with a square mesh, it is expected that the coupling between the degrees of freedom leads to chaotic motions. However, in somme conditions, chaos remains marginal. The aim of this paper is to unders...
متن کاملClassical singularities in chaotic atom-surface scattering.
In this paper we show that the diffraction condition for the scattering of atoms from surfaces leads to the appearance of a distinct type of classical singularity. Moreover, it is also shown that the onset of classical trapping or classical chaos is closely related to the bifurcation set of the diffraction-order function around the surface points presenting the rainbow effect. As an illustratio...
متن کاملThe Problem of Quantum Chaotic Scattering with Direct Processes Reduced to the One Without
We show that the study of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix S for quantum chaotic scattering in the presence of direct processes (characterized by S = 0, S being the average S matrix) can be reduced to the simpler case where direct processes are absent (S = 0). Our result is verified with a numerical simulation of the two-energy autocorrelation for two-dimensional S matrices. ...
متن کاملModeling of Elastic Collisions between High Energy and Slow Neutral Atoms
In the plumes of Hall thrusters and ion thrusters, high energy neutral atoms are created as a result of the charge exchange interaction between exhaust ions and neutral atoms exiting the discharge region. Proper modeling of fast atoms is important for assessing spacecraft-plume interaction in space as well as facility interactions for ground tests. Many numerical models for Hall thrusters appro...

We discuss the relevance of chaotic scattering in heavy–ion reactions at energies around the Coulomb barrier. A model in two and three dimensions which takes into account rotational degrees of freedom is discussed both classically and quantum-mechanically. The typical chaotic features found in this description of heavy-ion collisions are connected with the anomalous behaviour of several experim...
