An Analytical Approach to Scattering Regimes Between Thin Magnetic Flux Tubes Within an Ensemble
Abstract
Motivated by the inability to directly observe the small scale structure of solar magnetic features. We present an analytical method to model the multiple scattering regime within ensembles of random thin magnetic flux tubes, embedded in a stratified medium. Results demonstrate that the near-field interactions play an important role in the resultant scattered wave field. As such the ensemble no longer behaves as a bunch of individual tubes, rather as a larger collective. It is also shown that the scattering between azimuth orders (m) is as significant as scattering between p-modes. We present a comparison between this analytical model and observations, as well as recent numerical studies.
