Quantum Reflective Kinks

Abstract

We scatter a meson off of a scalar kink in quantum field theory, at leading order in perturbation theory. We calculate the full quantum state, at leading order, at all times and also check that the reflection and transmission coefficients agree with those which would be obtained in relativistic quantum mechanics.
