THE MILNE PROBLEM IN ANISOTROPIC SCATTERING (APPLICATION TO THERMAL NEUTRONS) (in German)

Journal Article · · Ann. Physik
OSTI ID:4310027
The celebrated Milne problem was investigated and it was shown that the ''standard problem'' could be solved without special analytical auxiliaries (as function theory) in very good approximation, but only when elementary scattering processes were assumed from the beginning. The density distribution at the edge of the medium was developed according to esponential integrals. The ''isotope'' drop could be determined by extrapolation. A proof of the well-known Hopf- Bronstein equation was also given. It was establised why the treatment in isotropic scattering is so very complicated. The deviations from isotropism, as far as they are not already included in the transport path, ought to be detectable experimentally. (tr-auth)
