Universal and non-universal properties of wave chaotic scattering systems

arXiv:0909.2674 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.81.025201

Abstract

The application of random matrix theory to scattering requires introduction of system-specific information. This paper shows that the average impedance matrix, which characterizes such system-specific properties, can be semiclassically calculated in terms of ray trajectories between ports. Theoretical predictions are compared with experimental results for a microwave billiard, demonstrating that the theory successfully uncovered universal statistics of wave-chaotic scattering systems.
