... A ray obliquely incident at the cylinder scatters on the surface of a cone (in the far zone) mainly in the forward direction. The results for the cylinder with the radius equal to the wavelength of incident radiation multiplied by 5 / pi ( x =10), the refractive index m=n+k i=1.33 and the angle between the symmetry axis of the particle and the wave-vector of incident radiation alpha =45 o were obtained with one of the codes presented in the DOP.
