Abstract
An interaction theory between an arbitrary electromagnetic shaped beam and assemblies of spheres (and/or aggregates) is presented. This theory is buil t by the synthesis of two already available theories: (i) the generalized L orenz-Mie theory (GLMT) for a homogeneous sphere, illuminated by an arbitra ry shaped beam and (ii) the interaction theory between a plane wave and ass emblies of spheres (and/or aggregates). An appealing application of this GL MT concerns the study of chaotic scattering within the framework of a rigor ous electromagnetic theory.
