Description

They study the evolution of a wave packet impinging onto a one-dimensional potential barrier. The transmission and reflection times discussed in the literature for stationary states do not correspond to the times required for the emergence of a transmitted or a reflected packet. They propose new definitions for the interaction time and the transmission and reflection times which are suitable for packets and fit better the actual time evolution of the packet
