Description

LHAPDF is the Les Houches Accord for Parton Density Functions, a library for distribution and evaluation of PDF fits. LHAPDF version 6 defines a common data format for all 2-parameter PDFs, and a set of standard interpolation functions supporting discontinuous subgrids in factorization scale, anomalous-dimension extrapolation beyond grid boundaries, a cascading metadata system, and tools for evaluation of alphaS, reweighting, and uncertainty calculations. C++, Fortran and Python APIs are supported.
