Soliton Repulsion and Scattering Experiments
The attractive force between the solitons can be converted to
a repulsive force as indicated in the following simulation where two
light bullets bounce off of one another. In the language of physics, this is
a scattering experiment and can be used as a probe of the force between
the interacting solitons. We have performed a number of such simulations
at various offsets, incident velocities, and bullet energies which were
then used to extract the precise mathematical form of the force law.
