THE APPLICATION OF INVARIANT IMBEDDING TO SHIELDING PROBLEMS

Abstract

The fundamental concepts of the theory of invariant imbedding as applied to particle transport processes are reviewed and their applications to shielding problems are discussed. Two new approximate methods for predicting the transmission of particles through slabs of material are derived from the imbedding equations. Onevelocity computations of the angular distributions of particles reflected and transmitted by slabs of varying thickness and composition are presented and analyzed.
