Introduction

Each individual pulse of photons may cause any number of neutron-producing reactions, ranging form zero to "infinity", and hereafter denoted by [math]n[/math]. [math]n[/math], being the number of neutron-producing reactions actually occurring per pulse, is assumed to follow the Poissonian distribution as a limiting case of the binomial distribution.
