On eigendistributions in linear transport theory

Author(s):  
C. G. Lekkerkerker

SynopsisAn attempt is made to provide a sound basis for the method of singular eigenfunction expansions which has been in vogue in linear transport theory for some decades. The procedure is exemplified by a treatment of the one-dimensional neutron transport equation with a degenerate scattering function. Full-range as well as half-range results are derived. At the end of the paper the implications for a certain matrix factorization problem are given.

The neutron transport denotes the study of the motions and interactions of neutrons with materials. In given applications we need to know where neutrons are in an apparatus, what direction they are moving, and how fast they are going. In this manuscript the Legendre polynomial approximation method FN was applied to the one dimensional slab geometry neutron transport equation.
