    "abstract": "We demonstrate the existence and significance of diffractive orbits in an\nopen microwave billiard, both experimentally and theoretically. Orbits that\ndiffract off of a sharp edge strongly influence the conduction spectrum of this\nresonator, especially in the regime where there are no stable classical orbits.\nOn resonance, the wavefunctions are influenced by both classical and\ndiffractive orbits. Off resonance, the wavefunctions are determined by the\nconstructive interference of multiple transient, nonperiodic orbits.\nExperimental, numerical, and semiclassical results are presented.",
