nrCascadeSim - a tool for generating nuclear recoil spectra resulting from neutron capture
A C/C++ set of executables and library for computing the nuclear recoil spectra left behind by capturing neutrons when all the capture gammas escape the medium.

You can find more detailed documentation of nrCascadeSim here. The documentation contains e.g. a guide to get started.

<!---## Ionization
Ionization assumes the Lindhard model:
Y = k*g(ε)/(1+kg(ε))
g(ε) = a*εγ + b*εω + ε
ε(Er) = 11.5Er[keV]Z-7/3
Using the accepted value for Silicon (k = 0.143) or Germanium (k = 0.159), whichever is appropriate; a = 3; b = 0.7; γ = 0.15; and ω = 0.6.
