Gamma-ray transport describes the way in which high-energy photons interact with matter. There are many well established, general purpose gamma transport calculation frameworks (such as GEANT4, MCNP, PARTISN, and GADRAS) that allow for complex generalized calculations, but they are typically not designed to be integrated into other multi-process, multi-platform applications, not designed for rapid computation, or their complexity leads to user errors. In this report, we introduce InterScatter: a deterministic simulation designed to quickly and easily calculate gamma-ray transport spectra for a 1D shielding geometry.

Gamma-ray transport describes the way in which high-energy photons (gamma rays and x-rays) interact with matter. There are many well established, general purpose gamma transport calculation frameworks (such as GEANT4, MCNP, PARTISN, and GADRAS [1] [2] [3] [4]) that allow for complex generalized calculations, but they are typically not designed to be integrated into other multi-process, multi-platform applications, not designed for rapid computation, or their complexity leads to user errors. In this report, we introduce InterScatter: a deterministic simulation designed to quickly and easily calculate gamma-ray transport spectra for a 1D shielding geometry.
