Abstract

A potential scattering theory from parity–time (${\cal P}{\cal T}$) collections of particles with gain and loss is introduced, and the forms of their structure and pair-structure factors are elucidated. An example relating to light scattering from a random distribution of a pair of particles with gain and loss is considered.
