Maxwell-Boltzmann thermal-neutron speed distribution; Schwartz-distribution

Layer 1 — Physicsin the neutron-physics subtree

Maxwell-Boltzmann thermal-neutron-distribution framework (Maxwell 1860 Phil Mag 19, 19; Boltzmann 1872 Wien Sitzber 66, 275). Setup: thermal neutrons in a moderator (graphite, water, beryllium) reach equilibrium with the moderating medium…
