A set of multigroup Legendre coefficients is derived that can be used to implement the diamond difference scheme for the continuous slowing down operator in standard (unmodified) Sn codes. Calculations are performed that demonstrate the validity of these coefficients, and the superior accuracy of the diamond difference scheme relative to the standard first-order multigroup method.
