3. NATURE OF PHYSICAL PROBLEM SOLVED

CYGAS computes the gamma flux and dose in three dimensional geometry around a cylindrical source of finite height, shielded by coaxial infinite cylindrical shields in the radial direction and slab shields in the axial direction.

[ top ]

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The axial flux at each specified dosepoint is determined by integration of the disk source kernel with Taylor buildup factor for a plane source included. The radial flux at each dose point specified by r-z coordinates is calculated by integration of the line source kernel with Taylor build up factor included.
