Kink-boundary collisions in a two-dimensional scalar field theory

In a two-dimensional toy model, motivated from five-dimensional heterotic M theory, we study the collision of scalar field kinks with boundaries. By numerical simulation of the full two-dimensional theory, we find that the kink is always inelastically reflected with a model-independent fraction of i...
