B4C (10B/B: 99 at%), material properties needed for shielding investigation. The probability iso-lines for \(P_{\mathit{transmission}}\) (blue) and \(P_{\mathit{transmission}}^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}\) (red) are shown as a function of thickness and energy for three different probabilities: \(1\text{e}{-}2\), \(1\text{e}{-}3\) and \(1\text{e}{-}4\). Additionally, the albedo saturation thicknesses are shown as a function of energy, where the color indicates the albedo saturation level
