Light scattering experiments and extended thermodynamics

Light in a gas is scattered on density fluctuations and the spectrum of the scattered light is influenced by the constitutive properties of the gas. The Navier-Stokes-Fourier theory does not always describe the spectrum of the scattered light in gases satisfactorily; it fails for small densities. Extended thermodynamics of many moments however may be used to predict the scattering spectra of dilute gases correctly. In this paper we compare the results of extended thermodynamics with measurements.
