The spectrum of the depolarized Rayleigh light scattered by a gas of linear molecules is calculated by a kinetic theory approach based on the Waldman-Snider equation. Collisional and diffusional broadening are studied. The line width is related to relaxation coefficients which are collision brackets obtained from the linearized Waldmann-Snider collision term involving the binary molecular scattering amplitude and its adjoint. It is shown under which conditions the relaxation coefficients characterizing the line width can be compared with data obtained from Sentfleben- Beenakker effect and nuclear magnetic relaxation measurements

A modification of the bulk polarization kinetic theory treatment of depolarized Rayleigh light scattering is presented and employed in calculating the half-width of the depolarized Rayleigh line as a function of density for the molecular gases n-H2, n-D2, N2, and CO2. Values of the broadening coefficient of 0.132, 0.131, 1.16, and 3.1 GHz amagat−1 have been calculated for these four gases, to be compared with the experimental values 0.106 ± 0.004, 0.141 ± 0.004, 1.5 ± 0.3, and 2.8 ± 0.3 GHz amagat−1, respectively.

The correlation function of the tensor polarization relevant for the depolarized Rayleigh line of a gas of rotating linear molecules is calculated for the pressure broadening regime. Point of depar­ture is the Waldmann-Snider equation for the distribution function of the gas. Due to the collisional coupling between the tensor polarization and other moments of the distribution function the cor­relation function turns out to be a sum of exponential functions. Consequently the depolarized Rayleigh line has a non-Lorentzian shape.
