“Pulse Neutron Theory and Experiments: An XTD-PRI Perspective”

Abstract: 

 

So-called pulsed neutron experiments were some of the first experiments done with neutrons after they were discovered in 1932. In this talk, I will first present an overview of the neutron transport equation, including a discussion of two types of associated eigenvalue problems and the relationship to pulsed neutron experiments. I will then briefly discus recent experimental efforts at LANL and some open questions.
