Particle tracking acceleration via signed distance fields in direct-accelerated geometry Monte Carlo

Computer-aided design (CAD)-based Monte Carlo radiation transport is of value to the nuclear engineering community for its ability to conduct transport on high-fidelity models of nuclear systems, but it is more computationally expensive than native geometry representations. This work describes the a...
