It is demonstrated by numerical calculation that a knowledge of these three functions is sufficient to allow the neutron spectrum to be determined even in deuterium. The situation in a moderator composed of a number of different types of nuclei is considered.

In the case of isotropic nuclear scattering the probabilities of multiple scattering are evaluated for a sphere and for ring specimens of circular and rectangular cross-section; double scattering by direct reduction of the appropriate integrals and higher order processes by approximate methods. The anisotropic.scattering of neutrons of several MeV is dealt with by representing the cross-section σ(θ) = σ<sub>1</sub>(θ) + σ<sub>2</sub>(θ) as the sum of σ<sub>1</sub>(θ), a forward peak, and σ<sub>2</sub>(θ) a more or less isotropic remainder term. Nuclear scattering events are then divided into two types according as to which partial cross-section is involved, and double-scattering processes correspondingly divided into four classes. The probabilities of all the four last-mentioned classes are calculated from the results of the theory for isotropic scattering. Higher multiplicities of scattering are treated in the same way.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100812,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Energy (1954)","volume":"9 1","pages":"Pages 169-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1959-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0891-3919(59)90163-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72615516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
