A Brief Report on the Workshop on 'Recent Progress in Surface and Volume Scattering'
Abstract
The purpose of the workshop was to bring together researchers from many diverse disciplines to report on and discuss their work related to wave scattering by particulate volumes and rough surfaces. The common thread in the great majority of the talks was the interest in enhanced backscattering from both volumes and surfaces and its basic causes. Both experimental and theoretical/numerical work addressed this problem with randomly rough surfaces. Extensive measurements of rough metallic surfaces (using lasers) was made which show that there is, indeed, a peak in the backscatter direction for sufficiently large rms surface slope. The great majority of the theoretical work appeared to be directed toward the numerical solution of the basic integral equation for the current induced on two-dimensionally rough conducting or dielectric surfaces; these results do show a degree of enhancement.
