Average number of collisions to reduce neutron energy

Input(s)

Eo\boldsymbol{E}_{\boldsymbol{o}}: Initial Energy Level (eV)

E: Final Energy Level (eV)(\mathrm{eV})

ξ\xi: Average Energy Decrement per Collision (dimensionless)

Output(s)

nn: Average Number of Collisions to Reduce Neutron Energy (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

n=(1ξ)ln(EoE)n=\left(\frac{1}{\xi}\right) * \ln \left(\frac{E_{o}}{E}\right)
