Abstract
We study experimentally and theoretically the autocorrelation function of level velocities and the generalized conductance for classically chaotic ray-splitting systems. Experimentally, a Sinai ray-splitting billiard was simulated by a thin microwave rectangular cavity with a quarter-circle Teflon insert. For the theoretical estimates of the autocorrelator and the conductance we made parameter-dependent quantum calculations of eigenenergies of an annular ray-splitting billiard. Our experimental and numerical results are compared to theoretical predictions of systems based on the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble in random matrix theory.
