Özet

The solid angle subtended at A point by a right circular cylinder is calculated by a Monte Carlo method. The five cases were analyzed using seven different events. The accuracy of the approximation has been evaluated by comparing the calculated solid angles with the tabulated values of literature. A good agreement is evident from the random number generated.
