Abstract

It is shown that a singular integral equation, arising in the theory of neutron streaming in cylindrical channels, can be solved by the Wiener-Hopf technique. The singular equation is converted into a non-singular Fredholm one, which may be solved very simply by finite difference methods and matrix inversion.
