Abstract
The Boltzmann transport equation describing the steady state distribution in energy of fast neutrons which have been “thermalized” in a moderator, is analyzed. The principal result of the analysis is an asymptotic series solution in terms of powers of (kTE) whose coefficients depend upon the important physical parameters characterizing the system. In this first paper the general solution is elucidated by application to thermalization by a monatomic gas.
