Abstract
An analytical solution to the discrete ordinates approximation of the adjoint to the multigroup transport equation in onedimensional slab geometry is developed in this work, in order to be used in source estimation problems. The solution is firstly tested in a source-detector problem, where explicit expressions are derived to approximate the absorption rate of particles of internal detectors. Noisy data generated from readings of internal detectors were then used, along with the adjoint formula ...
An analytical solution to the discrete ordinates approximation of the adjoint to the multigroup transport equation in onedimensional slab geometry is developed in this work, in order to be used in source estimation problems. The solution is firstly tested in a source-detector problem, where explicit expressions are derived to approximate the absorption rate of particles of internal detectors. Noisy data generated from readings of internal detectors were then used, along with the adjoint formulation, in an iterative process to solve an energydependent inverse problem of source reconstruction in the cases of polynomials and piecewise constant sources. The approach is shown to be fast and accurate. ...
