Abstract
Experimental studies of Rayleigh scattering show an asymmetrical scattering cross section which has been attributed to the finite size of the scattering volume. The scattering cross section is computed as an asymptotic series in a size parameter and it is shown that finite-size effects cannot account for the experimental results.Keywords
