Abstract
The half-space albedo problem has been solved for a combination of Rayleigh and isotropic scattering using \(H_{N}\) method which is developed for the neutron transport studies. The numerical results are compared with exact values obtained using variational method and Chandrasekhar’s equation for the \(\mathbf{H}\)-matrix. The analytical solutions of \(H_{N}\) method are easy to handle in comparison with the other methods. The numerical results are in good agreement with previous works in literature.
