We consider head-on collisions at critical coupling of vortices modelled by the Abelian-Higgs model. We investigate the 2-vortex scattering, whereby the vortices are excited by the shape mode causing fluctuations in the gauge-invariant quantities. When the vortices are excited with a sufficiently large amplitude the moduli space approximation fails, and we observe an interesting behaviour in which the vortices can become trapped in a quasi-bound state with multiple bounces. We perform a detailed investigation on the behaviour of these excited vortices and sample a phase space of solutions. Interestingly, we find a fractal structure dependent on the initial phase of the mode and velocity of the vortices.

  1. Resonance phenomena in vortex-antivortex collisions

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Vortex–antivortex collisions in the deep type-II Abelian-Higgs model show multi-bounce windows embedded in annihilation regions, driven by a Feshbach resonant mode.

  2. Oscillons and bubbles in $Q$-ball dynamics

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the thin-wall regime, Q-ball-anti-Q-ball collisions are chaotic, driven by internal bound modes and ephemeral states, with false-vacuum bubbles stabilized by Goldstone modes as key intermediates.
