Multiple scattering and inelasticity effects in neutron scattering by
a gaseous sample with an infinite plane slab geometry is studied as a
function of the scattering angle for a perpendicular monochromatic inc
ident beam. The importance of inelasticity effects in the treatment of
the multiple scattering problem is shown. Monte Carlo simulations as
well as approximate calculations are presented, and a correction proce
dure is proposed for the situation considered.
