Title: A THEOREM AND ITS APPLICATION TO FINITE TAMPERS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4341197· OSTI ID:4341197

A theorem is derived which is useful in the analysis of neutron problems in which all neutrons have the same velocity. It is applied to determine extrapolated end-points, the asymptotic amplitude from a point source, and the neutron density at the surface of a medium. Formulas for the effect of finite tampers are derived by its aid, and their accuracy is discussed.
