Sphalerons and resonance phenomenon in kink-antikink collisions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2021-12-15 v1

Abstract

We show that in some kink-antikink (KAK) collisions sphalerons, i.e., unstable static solutions - rather than the asymptotic free soliton states - can be the source of the internal degrees of freedom (normal modes) which trigger the resonance phenomenon responsible for the fractal structure in the final state formation.
