We study packings of bidispersed spherical particles on a spherical surface. The presence of curvature necessitates defects even for monodispersed particles; bidispersity either leads to a more disordered packing for nearly equal radii, or…
A fascinating new generation of experiments has determined certain meson scattering parameters at high precision. A confluence of highly sophisticated theory as well as new experimental ideas have led to this state of affairs, which sheds…
Scattering amplitudes in quantum field theories are of widespread interest, due to a large number of theoretical and phenomenological applications. Much is known about the possible behaviour of amplitudes, that is independent of the details…
We study direct and inverse scattering problem for systems of interacting particles, having web-like structure. Such systems consist of a finite number of semi-infinite chains attached to the central part formed by a finite number of…
We consider a dynamical system consisting of subsystems indexed by a lattice. Each subsystem has one conserved degree of freedom ("energy") the rest being uniformly hyperbolic. The subsystems are weakly coupled together so that the sum of…
We review possible measures of complexity which might in particular be applicable to situations where the complexity seems to arise spontaneously. We point out that not all of them correspond to the intuitive (or "naive") notion, and that…
We investigate a contaminant transport in fractal media with randomly inhomogeneous diffusion barrier. The diffusion barrier is a low permeable matrix with extremely rare high permeability pathways (punctures). At times, less than a…
We develop a theoretical model to investigate wave propagation in media with random time-varying properties, where temporal fluctuations lead to complex scattering dynamics. Focusing on the ensemble-averaged field, we derive an exact…
Branched flow is an interesting phenomenon that can occur in diverse systems. It is usually linear in the sense that the flow does not alter the medium properties. Branched flow of light on thin films was recently discovered. A question of…
A method is given for finding small inhomogeneities from surface scattering data. The method consists in localization of the positions and finding the intensities of these small inhomogeneities. The case of acoustic wave scattering is…

The influence of size differences, shape, mass and persistent motion on phase separation in binary mixtures has been intensively studied. Here we focus on the exclusive role of diffusivity differences in binary mixtures of equal-sized…
We present an analytic random matrix theory for the effect of incomplete channel control on the measured statistical properties of the scattering matrix of a disordered multiple-scattering medium. When the fraction of the controlled input…
A method is given for evaluating electromagnetic scattering by an irregular surface with spatially-varying impedance. This uses an operator expansion with respect to impedance variation and allows examination of its effects and the…
The possibilities that, in the realm of the detection of the so--called deformed dispersion relation, a light source with a continuous distribution of frequencies offers is discussed. It will be proved that the presence of finite coherence…
We experimentally analyze Rayleigh scattering in coupled planar microcavities. We show that the correlations of the disorder in the two cavities lead to inter-branch scattering of polaritons, that would otherwise be forbidden by symmetry.…
Scattering, especially multiple scattering, is a well known problem in imaging, ranging from astronomy to medicine. In particular it is often desirable to be able to perform non-invasive imaging through turbid and/or opaque media. Many…
A theoretical framework is developed for scattering of scalar radiation from stationary, three-dimensional media with correlation functions of scattering potentials obeying $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry. It is illustrated that unlike in…
Results of Small-Angle Scattering study of diamonds with various types of point and extended defects and different degrees of annealing are presented. It is shown that thermal annealing and/or mechanical deformation cause formation of…
We make preliminary estimates to assess whether the recently reported flyby anomaly can be attributed to dark matter interactions. We consider both elastic and exothermic inelastic scattering from dark matter constituents; for isotropic…
