Abstract: (Springer)
We consider the scattering of kinks of the sinh-deformed φ4\varphi ^4 model, which is obtained from the well-known φ4\varphi ^4 model by means of the deformation procedure. Depending on the initial velocity vinv_\mathrm {in} of the colliding kinks, different collision scenarios are realized. There is a critical value vcrv_\mathrm {cr} of the initial velocity, which separates the regime of reflection (at vin>vcrv_\mathrm {in}>v_\mathrm {cr} ) and that of a complicated interaction (at vin<vcrv_\mathrm {in}<v_\mathrm {cr} ) with kinks’ capture and escape windows. Besides that, at vinv_\mathrm {in} below vcrv_\mathrm {cr} we observe the formation of a bound state of two oscillons, as well as their escape at some values of vinv_\mathrm {in} .
