Abstract

This repository contains a complete Monte Carlo simulation framework for evaluating aluminum-boron carbide (Al-B₄C) metal matrix composites as integrated photoneutron shielding in medical linear accelerators. The framework achieved exact agreement (0.00% error) with ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data standards and passed 279 independent validation tests with 100% success rate.
