Rayleigh Scattering from neutral nitrogen and argon at room temperature has been studied using a 12 megawatt Q-switched pulse ruby laser. The scattering angle was chosen to be 90 degrees from the incident beam. The relative differential
scattering cross-section and the pressure dependence
of the scattered signal of the scattering media were determined.
Measurements of the absolute differential cross-section of nitrogen and argon were also obtained. I found that the results agree very satisfactorily with the prediction of the theory within experimental error. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
