Gammas from neutron-capture reactions

For neutron-capture reations with no given gamma data, the endep code uses conservation of energy and momentum to determine the average kinetic and excitation energy of the residual nucleus. This average excitation energy is output as the average energy of the gammas. A subsequent application of the nxgam code may be used to model the gamma energy distribution. See the references [4] and [6].
