TL;DR: In this article, the theory of a cascade neutron evaporation process is derived in detail in a form suited to the treatment of highly excited nuclei which have a continuous distribution of excitation energies following a primary direct interaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the nucleus is considered as a Fermi gas with pairs of degenerate single particle states and a coupling energy Δ between the two states of a pair, and expressions for the density of excited states and the expected value of the total angular momentum are given.

TL;DR: A generalised Fermi-Thomas method, in which K -matrices are used to obtain the potential energy, is used to calculate the energies and density distributions of nuclei for all mass values.

TL;DR: The approximations involved in obtaining a Fermi-Thomas type of theory for nuclei are related to the structure of the single-particle density matrix, and cases of both uniform and varying density are discussed in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical motion of particles approaching the regenrator is correlated about the line Z = − 1 2 TZ ; this correlation permits efficient design of the magnetic channel.
