NEPTUNE solves Schroedinger equations for wave functions of nucleons bound in a generalized Saxon potential. The Schroedinger equation considered is either a single, or a set of coupled, differential equations of second order, which NEPTUNE solves as an eigenvalue problem. The most frequent use of NEPTUNE is in obtaining the form factors to be used in various DWBA calculations. NEPTUNE can be used in the following calculations: (1) single-particle shell model, in which NEPTUNE calculates the single particle wave functions of a proton or neutron bound in a spherically symmetric Saxon potential; (2) Lane model, in which the Lane interaction is added to a spherically symmetric Saxon potential; (3) core excitation model, in which the core of an odd-A nucleus is spherical but can vibrate easily; and (4) Saxon-Nilsson model, in which the Saxon potential is deformed into a spheroid.
