Abstract

Light scattering by liquid helium droplets or gaseous helium bubbles is strongly forward. This has two direct experimental consequences: rare scatterers are very bright in a narrow ($\ll 5^{\circ}$) angular region in the forward direction; and even in the presence of multiple scattering the intensity collected at large angles is linear in the concentration of scatterers. These properties are explained, and the second one is illustrated with a liquid-gas helium spray.
