Abstract
The collision of two equilibrium ground state solutions of the Schrödinger-Poisson (SP) system, in orthogonal states, is proposed as a formation mechanism of mixed state solutions of the SP system with spherical and first dipolar components. The collisions are simulated by solving numerically the SP system for two orthogonal states, considering head-on encounters, and using various mass ratios between the initial configurations with different head-on momentum. The results indicate that the less massive of the configurations pinches-off the more massive one, and redistributes its density along the axis of collision. The averaged in time density of the two states resembles the distribution of matter of bi-state equilibrium configurations with monopolar and dipolar contributions.
