In this paper we analyze the decay of a neutron pulse in small nonmultiplying systems, through the use of a simple model for the moderator. The model, a modified one-term degenerate kernel, enables us to include crystal-effects, and, at the same time, to reduce Boltzmann's equation to quadratures. We discuss the structure of the continuum contribution, and the analytic continuation of the functions λk(B2) Our analysis should elucidate some of the puzzling aspects of pulsed-neutron experiments in crystalline moderators, and the multigroup calculations which accompany them.
