A toy model to explain the missing bounce windows in the kink-antikink collisions

Abstract

We propose a toy model to reproduce the fractal structure of kink and antikink collisions on one topological sector of ϕ6 theory. Using the toy model, we investigate the missing bounce windows observed in the fractal structure, and show that the coupling between two oscillation modes modulate the emergence of the missing bounce windows. By numerical calculation, we present that the two bounce resonance corresponds to the lower eigenfrequency of the toy model.
