This paper deals with the calculation of the detection efficiency in total cross‐section measurements for two geometries: rectangular beam–rectangular detector of equal (finite) dimensions and circular beam–circular detector. The solutions are given in analytical and graphical form. The use of the term ‘‘angular resolution’’ is discussed and a new definition is proposed.
