Abstract
Nearly all theories of light scattering from plasma, based o n random- phase approximation, assume a large number of charged particles in a sphere of the Debye radius. This basic assumption was not valid for the dense mid theta pinch plasma used in this experiment. The a>operative domain was realized even at an observation angle of e = 90°. The ion line was spectrally resolved and the scattering spectra were found to fit the theoretical profiles, within the limits of experimental error. It is shown that scattering theories can be applied even in the case of 0.7 particles per Debye sphere i n accordance with Theimer's extended nonlinear correction theory.
