A point source emits S neutrons/sec isotropically in an infinite vacuum. a) Determine the neutron flux at the distance r from the source b) Determine the neutron current density vector at the distance r from the source
Added by Sonya G.
Step 1
- A point source emits S neutrons per second isotropically, meaning the neutrons are emitted uniformly in all directions. - We need to find the neutron flux and the neutron current density vector at a distance \( r \) from the source. Show more…

A point source emitting S neutrons/sec is placed at the center of a sphere of moderator of radius R. (a) Show that the flux in the sphere is given by (r) = S / (4*pi*D*sinh((R+d)/L)) * (sinh((1/L)*(R+d-r))/r), where r is the distance from the source. (b) Show that the number of neutrons leaking per second from the surface of the sphere is given by No.leaking/sec = (R+d)S / (L*sinh((R+d)/L)). (c) What is the probability that a neutron emitted by the source escapes from the surface?

(a) Find the velocity of a neutron that has a 6.00 -fm wavelength (about the size of a nucleus). Assume the neutron is nonrelativistic. (b) What is the neutron's kinetic energy in MeV?
Find the neutron separation energy of $(a)^{17} \mathrm{O} ;(b)^{7} \mathrm{Li}$ $(c)^{57} \mathrm{Fe}$
