Prata 1 Instituto Tecnolo?gico e Nuclear (ITN), Sacave?m, Portugal Abstract We derive analytical expressions for the solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source with cosine angular distribution in the case where the source and the cylinder axes are mutually orthogonal. Key words: solid angle, point cosine source, cylindrical detector, cylinder 1 Introduction The calculation of the solid angle subtended by a cylindrical detector at a point source is of common interest in nuclear science. The case of an isotropic source has been extensively studied, but, to the best of our knowledge, no work has been published considering a point cosine source. Such source could arise as the second term in a Legendre expansion of a general source or, to take a well known example, as one of the terms in the Fermi expression Φ(μ) = 1 + √ 3μ. This expression holds for the angular distribution of low energy neutrons leaking from a variety of scattering materials and, if suitably modified (Φ(μ) = 1 + Aμ), can also be used in the case of lithium hydride (Verbinski, 1967). The scattering of neutrons from hydrogen nuclei considered at rest is also described by a cosine distribution (Ott, 1989). In this work the situation of a point cosine source defined with respect to some axis and a right circular cylinder with axis orthogonal to that of the source Email address: mjprata@sapo.pt (M. J.

Under this restriction we present the analytical calculation of the solid angle subtended at the source positioned at an arbitrary location. Sample graphics of the expressions obtained are presented. 2 Solid Angle Calculation
