Classical and Quantal Irregular Scatterings with Complex Target

Abstract

One-dimensional scattering by a target with two internal degrees of freedom is investigated. The damping of resonance peaks and the associated appearance of the fluctuating background in the quantum inelastic scattering amplitudes are found. Examination of the analog classical system reveals a disorderly reaction function, which is then related to the quantum amplitude through a semiclassical argument.
