The transport of neutrons in a multiplying system is an area of
branching processes with a clear formalism. This book presents an
account of the mathematical tools used in describing branching
processes, which are then used to derive a large number of
properties of the neutron distribution in multiplying systems with
or without an external source.
In the second part of the book, the theory is applied to the
description of the neutron fluctuations in nuclear reactor cores as
well as in small samples of fissile material. The question of how
to extract information about the system under study is discussed.
In particular the measurement of the reactivity of subcritical
cores, driven with various Poisson and non-Poisson (pulsed)
sources, and the identification of fissile material samples, is
illustrated.
The book gives pragmatic information for those planning and
executing and evaluating experiments on such systems.
- Gives a complete treatise of the mathematics of branching
particle processes, and in particular neutron fluctuations, in a
self-contained manner;
- The first monograph containing the theory and application of
neutron fluctuations in low power ADS (spallation and pulsed
sources);
- Suitable as a tutorial and handbook/reference book for scientists
and graduate students;
- One of the authors is the founder of the mathematical theory of
neutron fluctuations in zero power systems.
