Summary
How can scattering by particles, clusters and periodic arrays share a computational framework?
Uses spherical/cylindrical waves, T-matrices, Ewald lattice sums and plane-wave scattering for layers.
Supports periodic boundaries in one, two and three spatial dimensions.

Commentary
Particle T-matrices and multipole/lattice truncations must be accurate; a poor particle representation remains a bottleneck.
Offers a natural representation for particle arrays that complements a layer-oriented Fourier solver.
