The most straightforward way to calculate backscattering cross section is
through the values of the Mueller matrix at theta=180 degrees. See, e.g.
Section 2.1 of http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jqsrt.2009.02.020 . I am going to
add similar description to the next version of the manual, but it is not ready
yet.
Concerning the expected output that you describe, it is not easy to judge if it
is "expected" or not. It seems to me that backscattering cross section should
generally depend on the incident polarization (or equivalently particle
orientation). And limiting the integration of Csca to a single value is kind of
weird (although it might work).
So if you're sure that ADDA produces unexpected output, specify the test run in
details as a comment to this issue. Otherwise, please send how-to questions to
the discussion group - adda-discuss@googlegroups.com .
