Abstract
The space-angle-energy dependent integro-differential equation of the neutron transport theory cannot be exactly solved analytically in its entire generality. Over the past three decades, there have been many research efforts to develop numerically efficient approximate methods to solve the neutron transport equation. In this paper, we will present a new approach to the neutron transport equation, which is suitable for numerical compiitations. To understand the limitations of the existing popular approximate methods, we first consider the exact solution of the one-speed transport equation in plane geometryKeywords
