Moments of multiple scattering.
We present an analytical technique that solves exactly, and in closed form, for the first and second moments of the spatial and angular positions of photon distributions in a multiple-scattering medium. The analysis leads to simple analytic expressions for these moments, both conditioned on the number of scatterings and summed over all scattering events. The conventional results for small-angle forward scattering, and for the diffusion regime, are recovered in the appropriate limiting cases.
