Neutron Scattering Simulation
A Monte Carlo simulation of neutrons scattering through shielding materials, built in Python to study how neutron transport depends on the medium.
What I did
- Implemented a Monte Carlo simulation of neutron paths through different shielding materials, modelling absorption and scattering events.
- Compared transmission, reflection, and absorption rates across materials and thicknesses.
- Analysed and visualised the results in a Jupyter notebook.
What I took away
- Practical experience with Monte Carlo methods and their statistical behaviour.
- Stronger skills in scientific Python and communicating computational results.
The notebook is on GitHub.
