Abstract

In this work we apply the formalism developed in [M. Lepers \emph{et al}., Phys. Rev. A \textbf{77}, 043628 (2008)] to different initial conditions corresponding to systems usually met in real-life experiments, and calculate the observable quantities that can be used to characterize the dynamics of the system. The position space point of view allows highly intuitive pictures of the physics at play.
