Abstract

Using U_q(a_n^(1))- and U_q(a_2n^(2))-invariant R-matrices we construct exact S-matrices in two-dimensional space-time. These are conjectured to describe the scattering of solitons in affine Toda field theories. In order to find the spectrum of soliton bound states we examine the pole structure of these S-matrices in detail. We also construct the S-matrices for all scattering processes involving scalar bound states. In the last part of this paper we discuss the connection of these S-matrices with minimal N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric S-matrices. In particular we comment on the folding from N=2 to N=1 theories.
