SynopsisAn expression is derived for the field correlation function of the light scattered from a solution of lollipop-shaped particles. Such particles are a tractable model of certain bacteriophages. They are assumed to consist of an ellipsoidal head containing optically anisotropic scattering material and a tail which does not scatter. Because of the tail, Brownian rotational movement occurs around a center of rotational friction which is at a distance ro from the center of the head. The dependence of the field correlation function C(T) on the rotational diffusion coefficient DR is given by the factor exp [-l(l
