Invariant imbedding and radiation dosimetry. V. Finite order intensity of radiation in a target slab

Journal Article · · Math. Biosci., v. 18, no. 1/2, pp. 55-66
In a series of papers invariant imbedding was used to derive the integrodifferential and integral recurrence relations for the finite order scattering and transmission functions, the finite order X and Y functions, by which the diffusely reflected and transmitted irtensities of finite order scattered radiation can be numerically computed. Here, the Bellman-Krein-like recurrence relation is extended for the Fredholm resolvent to the derivation of a modified decomposition formula, showing how to express the internal intensities of finite order radiation in terms of the finite order X, Y, f, and g functions. Then, once the finite order X and Y functions have been determined by the use of the preceding methods, making use of the integral recurrence relations for the finite order f and g functions, the numerical solution of the finite order internal radiation field may be obtained. Hence the absorbed dose distribution of finite order gamma radiation and neutron beams can be directly computed. (auth)
