In addition to setting far-field ensemble extinction, the ω res,i distribution determines the near-field enhancement of electric field intensity near particle surfaces. The spatial variation of the electric field, as illustrated in Figure , is complex, but we can characterize it in terms of the ensemble average of the hotspot intensities E hot (ω) from eq (25) (Figure ). The peak value of E hot (Figure ) is nonmonotonic with respect to η and is only modestly sensitive to attraction strength and moment truncation, despite significant sensitivity of the extinction cross-section to these quantities (Figures and). As seen in Figure , at a specific ω, only the particles resonating at that ω have large near-field enhancement at their hotspots. When the distribution of ω res,i is broad, a large fraction of particles are off-resonance at ω res . This is the case for intermediate η, large U 0 , and large moment truncation, and so broadening cdf(ω res,i ) partially counteracts the increase in E hot that would have otherwise resulted from decreasing average interparticle spacing or increasing moment truncation, as is observed for particle pairs. Rather than the average E hot at the ensemble resonant frequency, if we instead look at each particle's hotspot intensity E hot,i at its own resonant frequency ω res,i , we see a strong, one-to-one relationship between the two quantities. Across varying η, U 0 , and moment-truncation, all data collapses to a single curve when plotted as E hot,i versus ω res,i (Figure ). Therefore, while η, U 0 , and moment truncation all change the distribution of ω res,i , particles with the same ω res,i share approximately the same hotspot intensity.
