✦ Synopsis


Geometry-dependent

effects upon the response of an omnidirectional detector and rectangular source configuration are reviewed. A survey of approximations is conducted and evaluation of regions of validity performed.

A variant of the Wallace approximation is shown to produce values that do not vary from "exact" calculations by more than f5%, often yielding results that are within & 1%.
