✦ Synopsis

We calculate semiclassical S-matrix elements Stun by numerical integration along complex-valued trajectories, by avoiding (simply) previously reported trajectory divergences. Now, one can numerically calculate even I Smnl ~ 10 -11 for the Secrest-Johnson system (their lowest I Smn 12), instead of only I Smn 12 > 10 -3. Agreement is excellent.
