摘要
Resonance neutron self-shielding factors for cylindrical samples of nuclides used as activation detectors or as targets for radionuclide production have been calculated using the MCNP code. These factors depend on the sample dimensions, as well as on the physical and nuclear properties of the nuclides. However, defining a dimensionless variable, which includes the relevant characteristics of the samples, it is possible to extend to cylinders a previously deduced universal curve for isolated resonances of any nuclide and samples of other geometries (foils, wires and spheres).
