Description

In this paper the effect on the neutron flux, in a homogeneous mixture of moderator and fuel, of scattering from low energy resonances in the fuel is considered. Particular attention is given to resonances for which slowing down theory is inappropriate. The kernel for a monatomic gaseous resonance scatterer is derived and compared with the 'slowing down' kernel commonly used. The effects of the two kernels on the flux near the resonance for the particular case of 240Pu and a light moderator are also compared. (author)
