Title: THE SPHERICAL HARMONICS METHOD IN PLANE AND SPHERICALLY SYMMETRIC GEOMETRY IN MULTI-VELOCITY-GROUP THEORY, AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE TWO-VELOCITY-GROUP P$sub 3$ APPROXIMATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4260298

The spherical harmonics method is extended to a multi-velocity group theory and is illustrated by application to a two-velocity group theory in P/sub 3/ aporoximation in spherical and in plane symmetrical geometry. The method is applied, in the 2-group P/sub 3/ aporoximation, to finding the critical radius of a spherical core surrounded by a tamper of uniform thickness, and the critical thickness of an infinite slab core with equal thicknesses of tamper on each side.
