SCATTERING OF RADIO WAVES BY DENSE TURBULENT PLASMAS,

Abstract

An analysis is made of the scattering of radio waves by plasmas in which turbulent variations of free-electron number density occur. Second-order terms for the scattered field are included. An additional term (as compared to the first-order Born approximation) is found in the expression for the scattering cross-section. This term is proportional to gamma (omega sub P/omega) to the 2 power where gamma is a numerical factor determined by the scale of the turbulence. (Author)
