Resumen:
Many scattering systems can be described as scattering of a point particle off a multicentre potential. In this paper we present a two-centre system which shows either regular or chaotic scattering depending on the kinetic energy, i.e. the velocity of the incoming particle. The transition points to chaotic scattering can be derived analytically by linearization of the Poincare map. At one of these transition velocities there is a degenerate bifurcation where the invariant set contains a parabolic surface and where the time delay statistics is algebraic with power sigma =2.
