Abstract
We propose a novel measure of chaotic scattering amplitudes. It takes the form of a log-normal distribution function for the ratios of (consecutive) spacings between two (consecutive) peaks of the scattering amplitude. We show that the same measure applies to the quantum mechanical scattering on a leaky torus as well as to the decay of highly excited string states into two tachyons. Quite remarkably the obey the same distribution that governs the non-trivial zeros of Riemann zeta function.
