On a new approximate one-velocity theory of multiple scattering in infinite homogeneous media

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Within the framework of a new approximate formalism for solving one-velocity multiple scattering problems in infinite homogeneous media, which was presented in an earlier paper, the appropriate expressions for the particle current are derived and carefully discussed in both cases of isotropic and slightly non-isotropic scattering. A detailed comparison between the corresponding rigorous and approximate formulae is carried out in the special case of an isotropic point source and leads to the conclusion that the newly derived approximations are highly accurate and possess remarkable properties.

Riassunto

Nel quadro di un nuovo formalismo approssimato per la soluzione di problemi di scattering multiplo ad una velocità in mezzi omogenei infiniti, presentato in un precedente lavoro, si derivano e si discutono dettagliatamente le adatte espressioni per la corrente di particelle nei due casi di scattering isotropico e leggermente non isotropico. Si esegue un confronto dettagliato tra le corrispondenti formule rigorose ed approssimate per il caso speciale di una sorgente puntiforme isotropica, giungendo alla conclusione che le nuove approssimazioni ottenute sono altamente accurate e presentano notevoli proprietà.
