Calculations of Neutron Time-Energy Distributions in Heavy Moderators

Number of elastic scatterings on free stationary nuclei to slow down a neutron

“…This slowing-down process is studied in the framework of neutron and reactor physics and is commonly modelled using Boltzmann derived transport equations [1][2][3][4][5]. Solving the Boltzmann equation is, however, difficult and can only be achieved through approximations such as multi-group approaches solved with computational codes.…”
