Abstract
We study the occurrence of delay mechanisms other than periodic orbits in s cattering systems with time-dependent potentials. By using as model system two harmonically oscillating disks on a plane, we have found the existence of a mechanism not related to the periodic orbits of the system, that delay s trajectories in the scattering region. This mechanism creates a fractalli ke structure in the scattering functions and can possibly occur in several time-dependent scattering systems.
