A TEST OF THE AGE THEORY (PART I)
The Selengut-Goertzel and the P/sub 1/-approximations to the Boltzmann equation for the neutron slowing down process in a medium of finite extent are rewritten as integral equations over Placzek functions. In this form, the equations can be solved by iteration; also, in the asymptotic case, they permit the corresponding age equations to be read off directly. The first order nonasymptotic deviations of the flux from the age theoretical expressions are calculated. (auth)
