+# Transport-free MGXS → random ray: fusion-shield benchmark
+
+A decisive end-to-end test of the `transport_free` MGXS generation method (added to
+`Model.convert_to_multigroup(method="transport_free")`): generate a multigroup library
+deterministically (no Monte Carlo, no transport solve), feed it to OpenMC's **random ray**
+solver, and compare the resulting flux against a **continuous-energy Monte Carlo reference**
+on a deep-penetration fusion shield. The same is done with `stochastic_slab` (the existing
+MC-based method) so the two can be compared head-to-head against the CE truth.
+
+## Geometry
+
+Spherical shield using the [neutronics-workshop](https://fusion-energy.github.io/neutronics-workshop)
+tokamak materials and thicknesses: a 14.1 MeV plasma source in the centre, then a tungsten
+armor layer, a steel structural layer, a lithium breeder blanket, and a concrete bioshield.
+
+![benchmark geometry](rr_benchmark_geometry.png)
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+python rr_fusion_bench.py ce                 # continuous-energy reference (Monte Carlo)
+python rr_fusion_bench.py rr stochastic_slab # random ray fed by the slab MGXS
+python rr_fusion_bench.py rr transport_free  # random ray fed by the transport-free MGXS
+python rr_analyze.py                          # volume-averaged comparison vs CE
+```
+
+Append a group-structure name (e.g. `CCFE-709`) to any command to change the energy mesh.
+
+## Metrics
+
+CE flux tallies are volume-*integrated* (track length); random ray
+`volume_normalized_flux_tallies` are volume-*averaged*. `rr_analyze.py` converts both to a
+common volume-averaged region spectrum using analytic shell volumes, then reports:
+
+- **spectrum-shape error** vs CE per region (each spectrum normalized to unit sum —
+  normalization-independent),
+- **deep-attenuation error**: how accurately the flux suppression deep in the shield
+  (φ_region / φ_first-wall) matches CE.
+
+## Result
+
+**Robustness.** `transport_free` produces a library that is **valid in every group**
+(positive total XS, no Monte Carlo noise), so it feeds random ray with no fixups.
+`stochastic_slab` produced zero / negative total cross sections (unpopulated deep-thermal
+groups + a transport-correction artifact in lithium) that random ray rejects; the harness
+applies an identical positive-floor fixup to both for a fair comparison. The noise is also
+visible directly: in the deep-thermal tail of the near-source regions `stochastic_slab`
+swings over tens of decades of Monte Carlo noise while `transport_free` is smooth (see
+`rr_spectra_*.png`).
+
+**Accuracy vs CE.** The verdict is group-structure dependent:
+
+- At a **coarse** structure (`VITAMIN-J-42`, 40 groups) `transport_free` is markedly more
+  accurate deep in the shield — the deep-attenuation error vs CE is ~41 % versus ~234 % for
+  `stochastic_slab`, because the slab's noisy/biased coarse-group cross sections badly
+  mis-predict the flux suppression.
+- At a **fine fusion** structure (`CCFE-709`, 650 groups) the two methods **converge to
+  near-parity** (flux-weighted spectral error within a few % of each other in every region):
+  `stochastic_slab` keeps a small edge at the near-source first wall, `transport_free` is
+  slightly better at the deepest point. Finer groups make the within-group weighting nearly
+  irrelevant, so the methods agree — consistent with the collapse-metric studies on PR #113.
+
+So for the random ray workflow, `transport_free` **matches `stochastic_slab`'s accuracy at
+the fine groups used for fusion shielding, beats it at coarse groups, and is strictly more
+robust** (deterministic, noise-free, valid in every group).
+
+**Caveat.** The random ray solve here is moderately resolved (a handful of flat source
+regions per layer); absolute errors vs CE (~20–40 % flux-weighted at `CCFE-709`) are
+dominated by that spatial resolution and are common to both methods. A higher-resolution
+random ray solve (more source regions, linear sources, more rays) would sharpen the absolute
+accuracy verdict; the *relative* method comparison is unaffected.
