In classical field theory, radiation does not reflect off of reflectionless kinks. In quantum field theory, radiation quanta, called mesons, can be reflected. We provide a general analytical formula for the leading order amplitude and probability for the elastic scattering of mesons off of reflectionless quantum kinks. In the case of the Sine-Gordon model we verify that, due to a cancellation of six contributing processes, our general formula yields an amplitude of zero, as is required by integrability.

    In 2D MMSS dilaton gravity, self-gravitating φ⁴ kink-antikink collisions show resonance windows shifted to higher velocities and narrowed by stronger gravity, with no singularity formation in the runs performed.

  3. A resonance in phonons scattering off a kink in the absence of a Peierls-Nabarro potential

    nlin.PS 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a Peierls-Nabarro-free discrete phi^4 model, phonon scattering off a kink exhibits lattice-spacing-dependent reflection and negative radiation pressure accelerating the kink toward incoming phonons due to resonances.
