# Westcott_g-factor

Python package for calculating Westcott $g$-factors, which adjust thermal-neutron capture cross sections for non-*1/v* behavior at low energies.  These are important in Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis (PGAA) when measuring nuclei that have low-energy resonances in their cross sections.  Code calculates $g$-factors for Maxwellian neutron energy distributions and individual neutron source spectra, when available.
