L’effet de spectre est lié à la modification de la répartition énergétique des neutrons : c’est principalement le spectre des neutrons thermiques, lié au spectre de Maxwell et donc à kT, qui est concerné; T n’est plus maintenant la température du combustible mais celle du modérateur. Si toutes les sections efficaces variaient proportionnellement avec la vitesse des neutrons, par exemple selon une loi en 1/v [où v représente la vélocité des neutrons], cette modification de spectre ne modifierait pas la réactivité. 1, record 3, French, - effet%20de%20spectre
