Abstract
The scattering of electromagnetic radiation in multicomponent unmagnetized plasmas with dust particulates is considered. It is demonstrated that the effect of capture of electrons and ions by the dust particles can affect the scattering of the electromagnetic waves. In particular, dependence of the scattering cross section on new parameters characterizing the charging process is found. The expressions for static longitudinal dielectric permittivity taking into account perturbations of the capture process are first obtained.
