Statistics of time delay and scattering correlation functions in chaotic systems II. Semiclassical Approximation (1507.05526v1)

Abstract: We consider $S$-matrix correlation functions for a chaotic cavity having $M$ open channels, in the absence of time-reversal invariance. Relying on a semiclassical approximation, we compute the average over $E$ of the quantities ${\rm Tr}[S^\dag(E-\epsilon)S(E+\epsilon)]^n$, for general positive integer $n$. Our result is an infinite series in $\epsilon$, whose coefficients are rational functions of $M$. From this we extract moments of the time delay matrix $Q=-i\hbar S^\dag dS/dE$, and check that the first 8 of them agree with the random matrix theory prediction from our previous paper.
