We consider the scattering of small, identical, wave pulses, that are equivalent to a sequence of particles, and find that kink-antikink pairs are created for a large region in parameter space. We also find that scattering at low velocities is favorable for creating solitons that have large energy compared to the mass of a particle. A wide variety of systems, ranging from polyacetylene and Josephson junctions to high energy particle physics models, contain non-perturbative, “soliton” or “solitary wave” excitations in addition to pertubative “particle” excitations [1]. An important unsolved problem is to find ways to transition from the particle sector to the soliton sector. At a pragmatic level, we would like to develop implementable schemes that might enable solitons to be built out of particles. A transition from two energetic particles to solitons, however, is known to be exponen- tially suppressed e.g. [2] (for a review see [3]) though it may occur more readily in certain situations, such as in the background of a pre-existing kink,[4, 5]. In this paper, we will determine a class of initial condi- tions that consist of small amplitude perturbations that scatter and successfully lead to the production of a kink- antikink (“kk?”) pair in 1+1 dimensions. A trivial scheme to determine such a set of initial conditions is to time reverse the annihilation of kk?. Then the time reversed particles would assemble into an outgoing kk?. However, in any pr
