Abstract

The quantum scattering of non-relativistic BPS monopoles is investigated by supposing that the hamiltonian is proportional to the covariant laplacian on the space of collective coordinates of the monopoles equipped with the Atiyah-Hitchin metric. Using a partial-wave analysis and numerical methods we find a rich quantum mechanical structure, including inelastic and resonance scattering. Quantitative estimates of certain cross sections are given. It is pointed out that a similar method could be used to discuss nucleon-nucleon scattering in the Skyrme model.
