Record 1 2014-06-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The distance beyond the boundary of a medium to a point at which the asymptotic neutron flux density would go to zero if it were represented by the same function as within the boundary in the one-group theory of neutron transport.

OBS

The asymptotic flux density is the flux density far from boundaries, localized sources, and localized absorbers.

OBS

extrapolation distance; augmentation distance: terms and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Dans la théorie à un groupe du transport des neutrons, distance de la limite d'un milieu jusqu'au point extérieur à cette limite où la densité de flux neutronique asymptotique s'annulerait si elle était représentée par la même fonction qu'en deçà de la limite.

OBS

La densité de flux asymptotique est la densité de flux loin des limites, des sources localisées et des absorbeurs localisés.

OBS

longueur extrapolée : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.
