Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. In the present report scattering of a transverse electromagnetic wave by density fluctuations in a magnetized inhomogeneous plasma in the presence of a parametric decay instability of a lower hybrid pump wave are investigated. It is shown that for typical parameters of hot plasma the differential scattering cross section can exceed the one due to scattering by thermal fluctuations by several orders of magnitude and depends on pump wave amplitude and density gradient.
