Series expansion of the Laplace transforms occurring in slowing-down theory is shown to reproduce and extend the usual approximate solutions for an energy distributed source in an infinite nonabsorbing medium. The method also leads to a differential equation for the slowing-down density in an absorbing medium, which may be solved to any required accuracy.
