+# musrfit - muSR data analysis package #
+
+### Contents ###
+
+This is a data analysis package to analyze time differential muSR and beta-NMR data. 
+Currently it allows the following things:
+
+* setting up most commonly used fitting functions for muSR and beta-NMR
+* fitting data, including global fits
+* showing the fit results and the residuals
+* showing the Fourier transform of the data
+* extracting easily the fitting parameters to be used in other programs (gnuplot, qtiplot/origin, ...)
+* allows to generate fitting input files for follow-up runs
+* allows to generate global fitting input files based on a single run template
+* allows to implement more sophisticated user functions 
+  (e.g. GL vortex lattice, Meissner screening including low-energy muon stopping profiles)
+
