Neutron Density Depression Due to an Oblate Spheroidal Detector (open access)

Neutron Density Depression Due to an Oblate Spheroidal Detector

In this paper, two projects have been undertaken. First, Workman's calculations have been checked to a higher degree of approximation to determine the accuracy of his method. Second, a new set of boundary conditions has been developed for obtaining solutions of the neutron diffusion equation which do not depend on the solution of the equation inside the detector.
