contents Manipulation and engineering of light scattering by resonant nanostructures is one of the central problems in optics and photonics. In this work, we theoretically study the effect of suppressed back-scattering of dielectric nanoantenna. We employed covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy to identify the geometries of circular dielectric structures with minimized backward scattering cross section. Zero back-scattering is achieved due to generalized Kerker effect and multipole cancellation condition. We found a set of geometries and shapes of the nanoantenna having back-scattering intensity close to zero. With help of clustering algorithms, all the found geometries fall separated into several groups according to their multipolar content. While the optical properties of scatterers in each group were similar due to similar multipolar content, their shapes can be significantly different which stresses the ambiguity of free-form optimization problem. We believe that the obtained results and found possible classes on generalized Kerker nanoantenna can help in designing nanophotonic structures such as antireflective metasurfaces.
