The specific multi-group scattering implementation is discussed in the :ref:`multi-group-scatter` section. Elastic scattering refers to the process by which a neutron scatters off a -nucleus and does not leave it in an excited. It is referred to as "elastic" +nucleus and does not leave it in an excited state. It is referred to as "elastic" because in the center-of-mass system, the neutron does not actually lose energy. However, in lab coordinates, the neutron does indeed lose energy. Elastic scattering can be treated exactly in a Monte Carlo code thanks
