CHAPTER EIGHT

NEUTRON FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PHASE SPACE: THE PÁL–BELL EQUATION

So far, with the exception of the previous chapter, we have considered branching processes in which the statistics of the branching entities (particles) depended only on time. In the modelling of miscellaneous physical, chemical and biological phenomena, one often encounters branching processes in which the particles are characterised by a given set of continuous parameters, such as the lifetime of the particle, its position and velocity coordinates (direction and energy) and so on. In this chapter, we will now deal ...
