Features: This book systematically and comprehensively introduces the theory of neutron transport and its numerical calculation methods. The book is divided into two parts. The first part introduces the deterministic computational methods for neutron transport problems, consisting of 6 chapters. The content includes: the neutron transport equation, the spherical harmonics method, the discrete ordinates method, the integral transport method, the numerical solution of the multigroup diffusion equation, and the neutron transport conjugate equation and perturbation theory. The second part introduces the stochastic simulation of neutron transport problems, consisting of 5 chapters. The content includes: the basic principles of the Monte Carlo method, Monte Carlo simulation of neutron transport problems, Monte Carlo multigroup neutron transport calculations, variance reduction techniques, and Monte Carlo parallel computation for particle transport problems. This book can be used as a reference for engineering and technical personnel engaged in theoretical research and numerical calculation of neutron transport theory in the field of nuclear science and technology, and can also serve as teaching material for master's and doctoral students in nuclear science and engineering programs at universities and colleges as degree courses or elective courses.
