Box: 1983963113, Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: In this paper a variational formulation for the adjoint even parity neutron transport equation (NTE) based Received 8 April 2016 on the generalized least squares method is adopted. The so-called PN method or expansion via Spherical Received in revised form 3 February 2017 Harmonics Polynomials (SHPs) is then summoned to treat the angular dependency of the equation while Accepted 18 June 2017 Finite Element Method (FEM) is invoked for the spatial domain. Based on our matrix form approach, it is Available online 19 July 2017 y shown that the scalar adjoint flux, / ðrÞ, can be determined through an efficient approach solely or in par- allel with the scalar forward flux, /ðrÞ. Eigenvalue problems as well as detector readings are of most use- Keywords: ful applications of the adjoint calculation which are also discussed in this survey. To verify the equations Adjo
