Neutron Scattering Lengths – pyne.dbgen.scattering_lengths

This module provides a way to grab and store raw data for neutron scattering lengths. This data comes from Neutron News, Vol. 3, No. 3, 1992, pp. 29-37 via a NIST webpage (http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/resources/n-lengths/list.html). Please contact Alan Munter, <alan.munter@nist.gov> for more information.

All functionality may be found in the scattering_lengths module:

from pyne.dbgen import scattering_lengths
