First experimental observation of superscars in a pseudointegrable barrier billiard.
With a perturbation body technique intensity distributions of the electric field strength in a flat microwave billiard with a barrier inside up to mode numbers as large as about 700 were measured. A method for the reconstruction of the amplitudes and phases of the electric field strength from those intensity distributions has been developed. Recently predicted superscars have been identified experimentally and--using the well-known analogy between the electric field strength and the quantum mechanical wave function in a two-dimensional microwave billiard--their properties determined.
