Attenuation constant of a coherent field in a dense distribution of particles
Abstract
In a dense distribution of particles, the propagation characteristics of the coherent field are strongly affected by the pair-correlated distributions of scatterers. This paper presents an optical experimental study to show that, when the particle density is greater than about 0.1%, the attenuation constant departs markedly from the formula based on an uncorrected scatter assumption. It decreases sharply when ka < 1, whereas it shows a slight increase when ka ≫ 1. Experimental data are shown for the volume densities ranging from 10−3 to 40% and ka ranging from 0.529 to 82.793. Comparisons are given with some theoretical calculations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
