Abstract

The properties of a complex linear absorbing barrier, recently employed to avoid the coordinate transformation in reactive scattering, are analysed by reduction to a one-parameter model. Limiting values of the slope and width of the barrier, for 0·1% reflection and 99% absorption, are derived and confirmed by numerical tests.
