Abstract
An analytical numerical method applied to three different types of monoenergetic neutral particle inverse transport problems in the discrete ordinates (S
N
) formulation is presented: (a) boundary condition estimation; (b) interior source estimation; and (c) effective slab length estimation. These three types of inverse problems governed by the linear integrodifferential transport equation in S
N
formulation are related respectively to medical physics; nuclear waste storage; and non-destructive testing in industry. Numerical results and a brief discussion are given to conclude the paper.
