Abstract
We have performed a numerical study of multiple scattering in fractal aggregates of different fractal dimensions D. We have found a behaviou r which does not correspond to previous work on random media. Our theo retical approach allows us to understand the structure of the backscat tered intensity and shows that the coherent backscattering peak due to time-reversal invariance is drowned in other types of interference.
