Abstract
The scattering angular distribution of the multigroup neutron transport equation, which is simulated by MonteCarlo method or discrete ordinate method, is usually expanded by Legendre series. Due to the Lorder truncated approximation, especial for L not enough large, the approximate angular distribution is negative over the range interval and nonunity by area. It leads to the nonphysics solution. In the paper, a generalized Gaussian quadrature discrete angle group is obtained by means of the equivalence of moment and Legendre coefficient. They are used as nodes of equally probable step function to approach real angular distribution, and then the nonphysics solution is avoided. The calculation results are the same as experiments and results of MCNP MonteCarlo code with continuous crosssection.
