Decay of thermal neutrons
Input(s)
\(\boldsymbol{n}_{\mathbf{0}}\): Number of Thermal Neutrons at Time t0 (dimensionless)
\(\mathrm{t}\): Time \((\mathrm{s})\)
\(\tau\): Thermal Decay Time (s)
Output(s)
\(\mathrm{n}\): Number of Thermal Neutrons at Time \(\mathrm{t}\) (fraction)
Formula(s)
\[
n=n_{0} * \exp \left(-\frac{t}{\tau}\right)
\]
