A MODIFICATION OF THE SPHERICAL HARMONICS METHOD IN NEUTRON TRANSPORT THEORY

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4328282· OSTI ID:4328282
The oscillitory character and the consequent poor convergence of the spherical harmonics method which arises when it is applied to a discontinuous problem is remedied by an appropriate modification. The new method is applied to the plane Milne problem, and the results compared with those obtained from both the conventional spherical harmonics method and Yvon's modification. (auth)
