The main objective of this research is to develop a three-group neutron Albedo algorithm
considering the up-scattering of neutrons in order to analyze the diffusion phenomenon in nonmultiplying
media. The neutron Albedo method is an analytical method that does not try to solve
explicit describing equations for the neutron fluxes [1,2]. Thus the neutron Albedo methodology is
very different from the conventional methodology, as the neutron diffusion theory model. Graphite
is analyzed as a model case. One major application is in the determination of the nonleakage
probabilities with more understandable results in physical terms than conventional radiation
transport method calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
