We consider the classical approximation of a realistic model for the scattering of He atoms from Cu surfaces. For this problem, modeled by a two-degrees-of-freedom Hamiltonian system, the existence of chaos has been proven analytically very recently for sufficiently large values of the energy, if some quantity, known as the Stokes constant, is non-zero (Borondo et al., 2024). Taking two different and independent approaches, this paper provides numerical evidence that this is indeed the case. Both approaches provide the same value of the non-zero Stokes constant
