| contents | We study global vortex production in (numerical) scattering experiments when the scatterer and the vortex degrees of freedom interact only due to intermediary quantum variables. We work in $2+1$ dimensions with a complex scalar field, $ϕ$, that supports global vortices, a real scalar field, $ψ$, that is the scatterer, and a quantum field, $ρ$, that couples to both $ϕ$ and $ψ$, acting as a mediator. We simulate the scattering of relativistic Gaussian wavepackets of $ψ$ and scan parameter space for regions where vortex-antivortex pairs are produced. The results show that vortex production is highly sensitive to the initial Gaussian parameters, and the parameter space is chaotic with ``holes" and isolated regions of vortex production. |
