Out-scattering

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008375",
  "term": "Out-scattering",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process by which radiation is removed from a beam due to scattering events, where photons or particles are deflected from their original path by interactions with matter. This phenomenon contributes to the attenuation of a radiation beam as it propagates through a medium. It is a component of the radiative transfer equation, alongside absorption and in-scattering.",
  "synonyms": [
    "scattering out (out of the beam under consideration)"
  ],
  "subject": "Physical and Biophysical Chemistry",
