Scheme of the initial setup of our simulations. The centre of mass of the binary and the single are set to encounter at a location Renc with impact parameter b ∈ (0, 2ainn). The eccentricities and mutual inclinations of the two orbits around the SMBH are drawn from a Rayleigh distribution (ℛ) with scale parameter σ and σ/2, respectively.
