Abstract
The paper presents the results of numerical calculations of the scattered light intensity by large randomly oriented particles of arbitrary shapes with flat faces in the backscattering cone [170°, 180°], performed in the physical optics approximation. It is shown that light scattered in the backscattering direction for a single large particle of arbitrary shape is divided into coherent and incoherent parts, similar to a phenomenon well known in the field of multiple scattering. For models of crystalline particles of arbitrary shapes used in this work, the coherent part forms a coherent backscattering peak, whose angular dimensions are approximately equal to the ratio of wavelength/(particle size). The incoherent part is close to smooth geometrical optical solutions.
