چکیده
In this paper source-detector solid angle calculation has been studied by Monte Carlo method, and a computer program is represented. Since most experimental works in nuclear physics are done by using of cylindrical detectors, the solid angle of this type of detector is calculated for various sources. The source in various shapes of a point, cylinder, sphere, or rectangle, may be located in any position out of the counter. In this calculation, we can obtain both window and lateral face solid angles of detector, as well as addition of them.
