✦ Synopsis

The time-dependent neutron transport equation in an infinite medium with time-varying cross sections has been solved by means of two techniques namely, flux-limited approach and maximum entropy method. The behaviour of the distribution function are shown graphically. Knowing the distribution function allows us to calculate directly some physical parametres of special interest such as the reflection function. The results reported in this article provide further evidence of the usefulness of both maximum entropy and flux limited methods for obtaining time-dependent solution of neutron transport in compact form.
