acoustotreams.AcousticTMatrix.xs_sca_avg¶
- property AcousticTMatrix.xs_sca_avg¶
Rotation averaged scattering cross section.
The average is calculated as
\[\langle \sigma_\mathrm{sca} \rangle = 2 \pi \sum_{lm} \sum_{l'm'} \frac{|T_{lm,l'm'}|^2}{k^2}\]where \(k\) is the wave number in the background medium.
It is only implemented for global T-matrices.
