Abstract

In this paper the scattering between a wobbling kink and a wobbling antikink in the standard ϕ4\phi^4 model is numerically investigated. The dependence of the final velocities, wobbling amplitudes and frequencies of the scattered kinks on the collision velocity and on the initial wobbling amplitude is discussed. The fractal structure becomes more intricate due to the emergence of new resonance windows and the splitting of those arising in the non-excited kink scattering. Outside this phase the final wobbling amplitude exhibits a linear dependence of the collision velocity whereas the final frequency is a decreasing function. By contrast these magnitudes are almost independent of the initial wobbling amplitude.
