Abstract
We present an analysis of backscattered light by agglomerated debris particles whose size is comparable with the wavelength. We consider agglomerates that consist of one or two large central particles and a few relatively small fragments surrounding the particles. We find that for the particles we studied, the attachment of small fragments onto the particles leads to a decrease of the negative polarization branch (NPB) at small phase angles in comparison with the branch produced by the isolated particles. For relatively large agglomerates (with size parameters x about 25) the internal scatter in the agglomerates may produce a secondary minimum of the NPB. In this case the second order of scatter between constituents of aggregates plays the dominant role.
