The role of the eigenvalue separation in reactor dynamics and neutron noise theory
Paper in proceeding, 2014
The eigenvalue separation has been used in the past for characterisation of the space-Time kinetics of reactor transients, and the stability properties of large loosely coupled cores. In this paper we explore the role of the eigenvalue separation on the neutronic response of a critical core to small stochastic perturbations, in particular the spatial characteristics of the arising neutron noise.
