N2 - A comparison of the limitations of the eigenvalues for the effective neutron multiplication factor per neutron generation, k, the multiplication factor per collision, gamma , and the fundamental multiplication rate, a, is presented as they concern the neutron spectrum and the spectral properties of the integral transport operators. Numerical examples of analyses of fast-neutron plutonium systems are given. Advantages of the rarely used gamma eigenvalue are discussed, leading to the main conclusion of this presentation that it should be used more often.
