Abstract

A Monte Carlo method utilizing total varience reduction is applied to the calculation of the solid angle subtebded by a right circular cylindrical detector from a point of arbitrary position. This method should be useful in those cases where the average solid angle from a distributed source of unusual shape is desired. Calculated values for various cases of interest compared to values given in the literature indicate that the method is correct.
