Fractal scattering in a radiation field

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2011 May;83(5 Pt 2):056217. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.83.056217. Epub 2011 May 31.

Abstract

We examine the transfer matrix and the stepping times for chaotic scattering of the excess electron in the chlorine ion Cl(-) from the chlorine atom. We use this information to determine the fraction of incident trajectories that are reflected and transmitted for those electrons caught in the tendrils of the chaotic scattering process.
