Abstract

The relationship between statistical distributions of geometrical parameters and scattering properties of particles has been underlined, particularly for optically soft particles. As the calculation of these distributions may be difficult, some simple rules for estimating them are presented in this paper. The method has been validated by the calculation of the scattering properties of a capsule shaped particle.
