Abstract
We derive and analyze a two degree-of-freedom collective coordinate (C C) model to describe interactions of a kink soliton with a localized d efect mode. Numerical simulations, supported by approximate analytic c alculations, reveal a sequence of transmitted and reflected states but no permanent capture within the CC model.
