Scattering by (a) a single composite scatterer consisting of a concentric arrangement of an outer N-slit rigid cylinder and an inner cylinder which is either rigid or in the form of a thin elastic shell and (b) by a finite periodic array of…
Interaction of electromagnetic, acoustic and even gravitational waves with accelerating bodies forms a class of nonstationary time-variant processes. Scattered waves contain intrinsic signatures of motion, which manifest in a broad range of…
Scattering theory traditionally deals with the asymptotic behaviour of a system far removed from the actual scattering event. Here we present an experimental study of the one-dimensional scattering of a non-interacting condensate of 87-Rb…

We show that intensity of a wave created by a source embedded inside a three-dimensional disordered medium exhibits a non-universal space-time correlation which depends explicitly on the short-distance properties of disorder, source size,…
Thick biological tissues give rise to not only the scattering of incoming light waves, but also aberrations of the remaining unscattered waves. Due to the inability of existing optical imaging methodologies to overcome both of these…
We introduce a new numerical method for solving time-harmonic acoustic scattering problems. The main focus is on plane waves scattered by smoothly varying material inhomogeneities. The proposed method works for any frequency $\omega$, but…
We have shown that the wave scattering by a soliton occurs in a peculiar way. The nonlinear interaction leads to the generation of waves with frequencies that are multiples of the frequency of the incident wave, minus the frequency of the…
A pair of atoms interacts with non-resonant light via its anisotropic polarizability. This effect can be used to tune the scattering properties of the atoms. Although the light-atom interaction varies with interatomic separation as…
