Chaotic scattering

Time management in practice is based on two issues how organized you are personally at work (e.g., Can you work well in a scattered, chaotic environment, or must you work in a very structured and systematic fashion ) and what the workflow is like in your environment. Most of us have some control over the first issue but not always the second. If you do have some say, however, in yours and others duties and how the workflow progresses, there are numerous recommendations about how to improve efficiency and patient... 

The consecutive points of the map may lie on a smooth curve (ordered motion), or be scattered (chaotic motion).

Small angle X-ray-scattering studies and light-scattering studies of lens extracts show that the transparency of the lens is the result of the short-range spatial order of lens proteins (Delaye and Tardieu, 1983). The molecular structure of the individual crystallins is well ordered even though the overall pattern in the lens may appear chaotic. 

The complex scattering wave function can be specified by nodal points at which u = 0,v = 0. They have great physical significance since they are responsible for current vortices. We have calculated distribution functions for nearest distances between nodal points and found that there is a universal form for open chaotic billiards. The form coincides with the distribution for the Berry function and hence, it may be used as a signature of quantum chaos in open systems. All distributions agree well with numerically computed results for transmission through quantum chaotic billiards. 

In fact, with the help of Krein s trace formula, the quantum field theory calculation is mapped onto a quantum mechanical billiard problem of a point-particle scattered off a finite number of non-overlapping spheres or disks i.e. classically hyperbolic (or even chaotic) scattering systems. 

Other classically chaotic scattering systems have been shown to have repellers described by a symbolic dynamics similar to (4.10). One of them is the three-disk scatterer in which a point particle undergoes elastic collisions on three hard disks located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. In this case, the symbolic dynamics is dyadic (M = 2) after reduction according to C)V symmetry. Another example is the four-disk scatterer in which the four disks form a square. The C4 symmetry can be used to reduce the symbolic dynamics to a triadic one based on the symbols 0,1,2), which correspond to the three fundamental periodic orbits described above [14].

Now, if free electrons are influenced by an external electric field, Ex, then a net electron drift in the x-direction is produced (see Figure 1.9). This net drift, along the force, which is created by the electric field, is superimposed on the chaotic motion of the electron gas. The end result of this process is that, following numerous scattering episodes, the electron has moved by a net distance, Ax, from its initial position in the direction of the positive terminal. 

There is a loud noise. Bits and pieces of balloon get scattered all around. The hydrogen gas inside the balloon, which was clearly separated from the air around, gets mixed with air. There probably was a sudden drop in temperature of hydrogen molecules as the pressure on it was released. All this presents a totally chaotic and disorderly picture. No wonder that scientists have associated increased entropy with increased disorder. 

Cantor s middle thirds set. We denote it by the symbol C. It has recently attracted much attention in connection with chaotic scattering and decay processes (see Sections 1.1 above and 2.3 below, Chapter 8 and Chapter 9). Cantor s middle thirds set is also an example of a fractal, a concept very important in chaos theory (see Section 2.3 for more details). 

A simple example of chaotic scattering is Box C. We have encountered this system already in Section 1.1. Many other simple scattering systems of this kind are known by now. The most illustrative chaotic scattering system is Eckardt s three-disk scattering system discussed in Section 2.4. The fundamental mechanism for chaotic scattering is the same in all...
