WAVE-PACKET DYNAMICS IN YANG-MILLS THEORY

We discuss the results of numerical simulations of colliding wave pack ets in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. We investigate their behavior as a fun ction of amplitude and momentum distribution. We find regions in our p arameter space in which initial wave packets scatter into final config urations with dramatically different momentum distributions. These res ults constitute new classical trajectories with multiparticle boundary conditions. We explain their relevance for the calculation of scatter ing amplitudes in the semiclassical approximation. Finally, we give di rections for future work.
