Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final report summarizes the research activities under the 'Systematic Study of Light Scattering by Irregularly Shaped Particles.' The beginning one and one-half years were devoted to the analysis of existing experimental data and the related theoretical light-scattering studies, in parallel with the reconstruction, renovation and calibration of the microwave analog scattering facility then relocated from the Albany, N.Y. area. The following one and one-half year period was devoted to actual measurement tasks and analysis of data in our original proposal; e.g., the investigations of scattering by interacting spheres and by particles with rough surfaces. Simultaneous with these measurements a number of 2:1 finite cylinders were also measured on their extinction properties when they were either preferentially or randomly oriented in space.
