The C/sub N/ method of solving the transport equation has been developed at Saclay during the past few years. This method is based on a lemma proved by Placzek; an integral equation is provided for the angular flux at the boundary of the various media, and its kernel is the infinite medium Green's function. Four plane geometry problems are solved in one-velocity theory, with a linearly anisotropic scattering kernel: the albedo for the Milne problem, the extrapolation length for the same problem, albedo and transmission factor for slabs, and the critical thickness for slab reactors. Numerical results are obtained and compared with data computed by reference methods.
