SynopsisIn this paper we study the direct and inverse scattering problem on the phase space for a classical particle moving under the influence of a conservative force. We provide a formula for the scattering operator in the one-dimensional case and we settle the properties of the potential that can be deduced from it. We also study the question of recovering the shape of the barriers which can be seen from −∞ and ∞. An example is given showing that these barriers are not uniquely determined by the scattering operator.
