A MARKOV-CHAIN TREATMENT OF NEUTRON THERMALIZATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4030966
ABS>The thermalization of neutrons in a moderating material is viewed as a Markov process in which there is one absorbing state and the energies are the transient states. The state populations are the neutron densities. By replacing the continuum of thermal energies with a set of energy intervals, the process is reduced to a finite Marko chain. (auth)
