Linear transport theory

Linear transport theory is the study of mathematical equations describing the transport of particles or energy within a host medium, which is responsible for random absorption, emission and scattering events. Subject to sufficient approximations, this is a common framework for describing the scattering of light (radiative transfer) or neutrons (neutron transport).
