Some properties of the angular power distribution of electromagnetic waves multiply scattered in a collisional magnetized turbulent plasma

A study is made of oblique incidence of a small-amplitude plane electromagnetic wave on a semi-infinite slab of a collisional turbulent plasma in an external uniform magnetic field. In the small-angle scattering approximation, the condition for neutralizing the effects of oblique incidence and plasma anisotropy on the statistical properties of radiation multiply scattered in the absorbing plasma medium is determined by using the methods of geometrical optics. The validity of this condition was confirmed by numerical calculations based on the statistical modeling technique. The effect of the shape of the spectrum of the electron density fluctuations on the shape of the angular power distribution of a multiply scattered radiation is investigated.
