摘要
Knowledge of the solid angle subtended by a detector is essential for the determination of the activity of a radioactive source. This work investigates the influence of diaphragm and source diameter, and source to diaphragm distance, on the solid angle subtended by a dual opposed g diaphragm-detector assembly. Expressions published by Segre, Ruby, and others, and the Monte Carlo method are used. The analytical expressions consistently produced higher estimates than the Monte Carlo method for the solid angle. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
