This dynamical system consists of a small perturbation of the Coulomb dynamics for energies in the atomic range. The key properties of the Coulomb dynamics are: (i) a peculiar mixed-type phase space with sparse families of stable non-ionizing orbits and (ii) scale-invariance symmetry, with all orbits defined by an arbitrary scale parameter. The combination of this peculiar chaotic dynamics ((i) and (ii)), with the scale-dependent relativistic corrections (Darwin interaction) generates the phenomenon of scale-dependent stability: We find numerical evidence that stable non-ionizing orbits can exist only for a discrete set of resonant energies. The Fourier transform of these non-ionizing orbits is a set of sharp frequencies. The energies and sharp frequencies of the non-ionizing orbits we study are in the quantum atomic range.contains six figuresChaotic Dynamicstext
