In the present work we investigate the magnetoconductance of two dimensional circular billiards by numerical and analytical means. In ballistic chaotic cavities semiclassical theories have provided remarkably accurate analytical descriptions of interference phenomena, such as weak localization. However, previous examinations of the circular billiard have indicated that the standard trajectory based techniques do not describe the weak localization effect in this nongeneric setup sufficiently well. The significance of diffractive orbits in this context has been emphasized in earlier works. This is supported by our numerical findings. Moreover we present a semiclassical formalism specialized for the description of the underlying classical system and discuss the consequences of incorporating diffraction.
