SIMPLIFIED DERIVATION OF THE SPHERICAL HARMONICS MOMENTS FOR CYLINDRICAL AND OTHER GEOMETRIES. A Lecture Delivered at Chalk River, June 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4147209
Certain points in the presentation of the spherical harmonics method in neutron transport theory are discussed. A simple derivation of the explicit expressions for the spherical harmonics moments, in the cases of cylindrical symmetry and more general geometrical arrangements, is presented. It is assumed that the cross sections are independent of energy and position, that scattering is isotropic in the laboratory coordinates, and that there are no sources inside the medium. (W.D.M.)
