title: Backscattering halo from the beam in the scattering medium with highly forward peaked phase function: is it feasible?
abstract: A recently theoretically predicted backscattering halo appearing around the pencil beam in the scattering medium is studied. The criterion of seven-thirds, which is to be met in the experiment for the halo observation, is established. The possibility to register the effect in realistic media is discussed.
