forward scatter

Scattering into directions forward of a plane through the scattering center and orthogonal to the incident direction.

Forward scatter makes up half of the total Rayleigh scatter. This fraction increases with increasing particle size at a given wavelength, so that large particle scatter is predominantly forward scatter.
See also asymmetry factor.
