Title: THE INTENSITY OF GAMMA RADIATION EMITTED BY A CYLINDRICAL SOURCE

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes

The intensity of gamma -radiation emitted by a cylindrical source is calculated both with and without allowance for self-absorption. An analytical expression involving only tabulated functions is obtained for the radiation yield from a non-absorbing cylinder in the radial direction. It may be applied to sources having appreciable selfabsorption by the inclusion of a factor calculated in the second part of the paper. This self-absorption factor is tabulated for various absorption coefficients and for cylindrical sources of different height to diameter ratio. (auth)
