CALCULATIONS OF TOTAL AND DIFFERENTIAL SOLID ANGLES FOR A PROTON RECOIL SOLID STATE DETECTOR

摘要

The solid angles have been computed for a proton recoil counter consisting of a circular hydrogenous foil viewed by a circular solid state counter when using an isotropic neutron point source at different distances from the target foil. Tables are given for the total subtended solid angle as well as the differential energy distribution function of the proton recoil spectrum. The influence of finite foil thickness has also been studied.
