Question: Consider an infinitely wide planar isotropic neutron source (in (mathrm{Y}-mathrm{Z}) plane) located at (x=0) and emitting neutrons at the rate of (S_{0} mathrm{n} / mathrm{cm}^{2}-mathrm{s}),

Consider an infinitely wide planar isotropic neutron source (in \(\mathrm{Y}-\mathrm{Z}\) plane) located at \(x=0\) and emitting neutrons at the rate of \(S_{0} \mathrm{n} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}-\mathrm{s}\), then
