Popis: The extension of classical S‐matrix theory to chaotic scattering systems is considered. It is shown that if the fractal structure of the chattering region is understood then the contribution to the S‐matrix elements and the transition probabilities can be expressed as a sum over the infinite number of contributing trajectories and that by using the scaling laws of the fractal that this sum can be evaluated. It is shown that if the transition is classically forbidden then the contribution from the chattering region is significant.
