P. Bruscaglioni et al., A NOTE ON THE DEFINITION OF SCATTERING CROSS-SECTIONS AND PHASE FUNCTIONS FOR SPHERES IMMERSED IN AN ABSORBING MEDIUM, Waves in random media, 3(3), 1993, pp. 147-156
A definition of the scattering cross section of a sphere immersed in a
n absorbing medium is considered. The quantity, and the relevant phase
function, can be used in Monte Carlo calculations regarding multiple
scattering.
