We discuss the regions forbidden to classical scattering trajectories by repulsive potentials. We give explicit results for the asymptotic form of these regions, far from the scattering center, in terms of the scattering angle function.
On-shell scattering amplitudes have proven to be useful tools for tackling the two-body problem in general relativity. This thesis outlines how to compute relevant classical observables that are themselves on-shell, directly from…
