Abstract
A method is given for calculating, within the framework of the moment-method of Spencer and Fano, the angular distribution of radiation from a plane isotropic source. Essential use is made of the simplification introduced by a geometrical feature of radiation from such a source. Sample calculations are presented for a 1-Mev source in water.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
