Figure 3. The orbits corresponding to the peaks in the total population in figure 2(b). Note the time delay td corresponding to the peaks in the total population and added to tp to get the laboratory return time t. The orbits can then be plotted by inserting these values into the trajectory equations from (5). The strengths of the peaks in the total population reflect the structure of the orbits. The orbits which go further spread more and a small part of the wavefunction reflects in the source region which may result in a small peak in the total population and vice versa.
