Abstract

We study the scattering of kink and antikink of the double sine-Gordon model. There is a critical value of the initial velocity vcrv_{cr} of the colliding kinks, which separates different regimes of the collision. At vin>vcrv_{in}>v_{cr} we observe kinks reflection, while at vin<vcrv_{in}<v_{cr} their interaction is complicated with capture and escape windows. We obtain the dependence of vcrv_{cr} on the parameter of the model. This dependence possesses a series of local maxima, which has not been reported by other authors. At some initial velocities below the critical value we observe a new phenomenon -- the escape of two oscillons in the final state. Besides that, at vin<vcrv_{in}<v_{cr} we found the initial kinks' velocities at which the oscillons do not escape, and the final configuration looks like a bound state of two oscillons.
