Abstract: | A statistical model is proposed for the scattering of microwave radiation by a weakly ionized gaseous medium irradiated by
hard ionizing radiation. It is shown that owing to the correlation of the positions of the elementary scatterers, the predominant
contribution comes from scattering on the tracks of the high-energy ionizing particles. The prospects for radar detection
of the tracks of radioactive ionization of air are assessed. The maximum distance for radar detection of a cloud of radioactive
contamination is calculated as a function of the second release of nuclide activity. An analysis is made of the dependence
of the detection threshold on the type of radioactivity, observation geometry, and wavelength of the probe radiation.
