We propose a method for simulating a single realization of a collision of two Bose-Einstein condensates. Recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 200401 (2005)], we introduced a quantum model of incoherent elastic scattering in a collision of two counterpropagating atomic Gaussian wave packets. Here we show that this model is capable of generating data that can be interpreted as results of a single collisional event. We find a range of parameters, including relative velocity, population, and the size of colliding condensates, where the structure of the halo of scattered atoms in a single realization strongly differs from that averaged over many realizations.
