title: Coherent backscattering of elastic waves: specific role of source, polarization, and near field.
abstract: Calculation of coherent backscattering of elastic waves in an infinite isotropic random medium is presented. Despite the simplicity of this geometry, this calculation highlights several specific aspects for seismic detection: near field detection, polarization, and the symmetry of the source. Line profiles and enhancement factors are seen to be time independent and are calculated for kinetic, shear, and compressional energy.
