Decay of thermal neutrons

Input(s)

$\boldsymbol{n}_{\mathbf{0}}$: Number of Thermal Neutrons at Time t0 (dimensionless)

$\mathrm{t}$: Time $(\mathrm{s})$

$\tau$: Thermal Decay Time (s)

Output(s)

$\mathrm{n}$: Number of Thermal Neutrons at Time $\mathrm{t}$ (fraction)

Formula(s)

$$ n=n_{0} * \exp \left(-\frac{t}{\tau}\right) $$
