The fraction of trajectories that have a given number of reflections during the passage of a neutron beam through a long cylindrical channel is determined when the angular divergence of the incident beam is less than the critical angle of the inner surface of the channel. This is useful for estimating the reflectivity from neutron-transmission measurements. The results are shown on a universal curve.
