Abstract

Based on the criteria of the maximum induced activity, the problem of the optimum sample shape was analyzed for a given volume of sample. Its shape was assumed to be cylindrical and the optimum values for the height-to-diameter ratio (presented in the included tables) were calculated under various circumstances. Coaxial and perpendicular sample—target irradiation geometries were considered.
