Accurate Extrapolation Lengths for Pulsed Monoenergetic Neutrons in Slabs and Spheres

With recently published results of Kaper et al. as a basis, accurate extrapolated endpoints have been calculated for homogeneous pulsed slabs and spheres. The neutrons were assumed to be monoenergetic and to scatter isotropically. In contrast to P₃ calculations, the results indicate a zero slope at small bucklings of the curve describing the extrapolated endpoint as a function of buckling.
