The renormalization group technique is used to calculate the difference between Tc, the nematic-isotropic transition temperature and T* the temperature at which the reciprocal of the light scattering intensity extrapolates to zero. The model free energy is the Landau de Gennes form. This calculation gives results which are in better agreement with experiment than the mean field approximation results
