Abstract: | The problem of determining the parameters of the field of a cylindrical absorbing radiator in the direction of the generator
was solved for the case where the detection point lies outside the cylindrical surface of the radiator. A program of integrating
the expression obtained numerically was developed. The results of calculations of the position of the dose rate isolines were
presented for two radiators with relative heights 1 and 10. The maximum error was determined for the chosen numerical integration
parameters relative to the exact solution: this error was found to be no greater than 2% for the interval of relative heights
of the radiator 0.01–10. It was shown that the proposed scheme for obtaining the integral expression is much mor accurate
than the scheme used previously for calculation of the parameters of the field in a range falling within the height of the
radiator, 5 figures, 5 references.
