Abstract

Under assumptions on initial wave-packet spreads and particle interactions, different mass particles scattering off one another will have the product σi2mi converge to a common value, where σi is the spread and mi is the mass of the ith particle. When this relation is satisfied, kinematic entanglement vanishes.
