Abstract
We propose a method for simulating a single realization of a collision of two Bose--Einstein condensates. Recently in Zi\'{n} {\it et al.} (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 94}, 200401 (2005)) we introduced a quantum model of an incoherent elastic scattering in a collision of two counter-propagating atomic Gaussian wavepackets. Here show that this model is capable of generating the data that can be interpreted as results of a single collision event. We find a range of parameters, including relative velocity, population and the size of colliding condensates, where the structure of hallo of scattered atoms in a single realization strongly differs from that averaged over many realizations.
