C============================================================================ C CTEQ Parton Distribution Functions: Version 6.0 C January 24, 2002 C C Ref: "New Generation of Parton Distributions with C Uncertainties from Global QCD Analysis" C By: J. Pumplin, D.R. Stump, J.Huston, H.L. Lai, P. Nadolsky, W.K. Tung C hep-ph/0201195 C C This package contains 3 standard sets of CTEQ6 PDF's and 40 up/down sets C with respect to CTEQ6M PDF's. Details are: C --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Iset PDF Description Alpha_s(Mz)**Lam4 Lam5 Table_File C --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C 1 CTEQ6M Standard MSbar scheme 0.118 326 226 cteq6m.tbl C 2 CTEQ6D Standard DIS scheme 0.118 326 226 cteq6d.tbl C 3 CTEQ6L Leading Order** 0.118 326** 226** cteq6l.tbl C ------------------------------ C 1xx CTEQ6M1xx +/- w.r.t. CTEQ6M 0.118 326 226 cteq6m1xx.tbl C (where xx=01--40) C --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C ** ALL fits are obtained by using the same coupling strength \alpha_s(Mz)=0.118; C and the NLO running \alpha_s formula. For the LO fit, the evolution of the PDF C and the hard cross sections are calculated at LO. More detailed discussions are C given in hep-ph/0201195. C C The table grids are generated for 10^-6 < x < 1 and 1.3 < Q < 10,000 (GeV). C PDF values outside of the above range are returned using extrapolation. C Lam5 (Lam4) represents Lambda value (in MeV) for 5 (4) flavors. C The matching alpha_s between 4 and 5 flavors takes place at Q=4.5 GeV, C which is defined as the bottom quark mass, whenever it can be applied. C C The Table_Files are assumed to be in the working directory. C C Before using the PDF, it is necessary to do the initialization by C Call SetCtq6(Iset) C where Iset is the desired PDF specified in the above table. C C The function Ctq6Pdf (Iparton, X, Q) C returns the parton distribution inside the proton for parton [Iparton] C at [X] Bjorken_X and scale [Q] (GeV) in PDF set [Iset]. C Iparton is the parton label (5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, ......, -5) C for (b, c, s, d, u, g, u_bar, ..., b_bar), C C For detailed information on the parameters used, e.q. quark masses, C QCD Lambda, ... etc., see info lines at the beginning of the C Table_Files. C C These programs, as provided, are in double precision. By removing the C "Implicit Double Precision" lines, they can also be run in single C precision.
