Title: Distribution of Proper Delay Times in Quantum Chaotic Scattering: A Crossover from Ideal to Weak Coupling

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

The probability distribution of the proper delay times during scattering on a chaotic system is derived in the framework of the random matrix approach and the supersymmetry method. The result obtained is valid for an arbitrary number of scattering channels as well as arbitrary coupling to the energy continuum. The case of statistically equivalent channels is studied in detail. In particular, the semiclassical limit of an infinite number of weak channels is paid appreciable attention.
