Abstract
A THEORETICAL investigation into the time-energy and space-energy behaviour of a pulse of fast, fission energy neutrons introduced into non-multiplying, moderating media has been concluded. In particular, interesting results have been obtained for the thermal region where the neutron energy is less than one electron volt and the neutron–nucleus scattering process is essentially quantum mechanical.
