Average number of collisions to reduce neutron energy
Input(s)
\(\boldsymbol{E}_{\boldsymbol{o}}\): Initial Energy Level (eV)
E: Final Energy Level \((\mathrm{eV})\)
\(\xi\): Average Energy Decrement per Collision (dimensionless)
Output(s)
\(n\): Average Number of Collisions to Reduce Neutron Energy (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
n=\left(\frac{1}{\xi}\right) * \ln \left(\frac{E_{o}}{E}\right)
\]
