ial equation for the transport of monoenergetic neutrons in a complete cylindrically symmetrical medium, which scatters neutrons isotroptcally, according to the method of spherical harmonics. The constants of integration, on the other hand, are then expressed by means of the terms of the spherical harmonics moments. A simpler procedure in obtaining the results of Davison (Can. J. Phys. 35, 576 (1957)) is shown. The given procedure, however, permits of a simple extension of the results to the case when the medium scatters neutrons anisotropically. (auth)
