H. Öztürk
Abstract
The criticality problem for one-speed neutrons in a uniform homogeneous slab with reflecting boundary conditions is studied using Henyey-Greenstein (HG) and Anlı-Güngör (AG) phase functions. The critical half-thicknesses of the slab are performed with traditional spherical harmonics (PN) method for various values of the cross-section parameter, reflection coefficient and the scattering parameters of HG and AG phase functions. The numerical results obtained in case of using both HG and AG phase functions are tabulated in the tables and they are compared with each other.
