Multigroup neutral particle transport theory revisited: The development of an analytical Benchmark

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

The multigroup equation of neutron transport theory is solved in an infinite medium setting to obtain the partial Green's function. The solution is found via a Fourier transform approach from which the singular eigenfunction expansion emerges. The solution features full anistropic scattering and a full group-to-group scattering matrix. As a demonstration, the scalar flux for several scenarios is obtained both in plane and spherical geometries. The application of the Wynn-epsilon acceleration algorithm is shown to provide remarkable improvement for highly forward-peaked scattering.
