THE SLAB ALBEDO PROBLEM USING SINGULAR EIGENFUNCTIONS AND THE 3RD FORM OF THE TRANSPORT-EQUATION

The albedo and the transmission factor for slabs are obtained using th e infinite medium Green's function in terms of the singular eigenfunct ions in the third form of the transport equation. Our analytical resul ts are simple as in the F-N method and the convergence of the numerica l results is as fast as in the C-N method. Calculations are also carri ed out by various incoming angular fluxes and uncollided neutrons are taken into account. Our numerical results are in very good agreement w ith the results of the C-N method and, as shown in the tables, are obt ained up to the eighth order of approximation.
