Analytical calculation of the solid angle defined by a cylindrical detector and a point cosine source with orthogonal axes

We derive analytical expressions for the solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source with cosine angular distribution in the case where the source and the cylinder axes are mutually orthogonal.
