Abstract
Approximate solutions to the one-velocity time dependent neutron transport equation are derived by means of the eigenfunction expansion method of Case for a slab geometry. A finite set of discrete time eigenvalues is determined by a simple formula. This formula, which is derived for the case of large slab thickness, is found to be valid also for fairly thin slabs. Each time eigenvalue generates a pair of spatial modes. The expansion coefficients to these modes are examined by numerical evaluation for various slab thicknesses. Higher spatial modes are found to play an important role in the transient time evolution of neutrons.
