 `RustBCA` is a general-purpose, high-performance code for simulating
 ion-material interactions using the binary collision approximation ([BCA]),
 written in [Rust]! RustBCA consists of a standalone code and libraries for

 By discretizing the collision cascade into a sequence of binary collisions,
 [BCA] codes can accurately and efficiently model the prompt interaction
