<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE pkgmetadata SYSTEM "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd"> <pkgmetadata> <herd>sci-physics</herd> <longdescription lang="en"> Les Houches Parton Density Function (LHAPDF) provides a unified and easy to use interface to modern PDF sets. It is designed to work not only with individual PDF sets but also with the more recent multiple "error" sets. It can be viewed as the successor to PDFLIB, incorporating many of the older sets found in the latter, including pion and photon PDFs. In LHAPDF the computer code and input parameters/grids are separated thus allowing more easy updating and no limit to the expansion possibilities. The code and data sets can be downloaded together or individually as desired. From version 4.1 onwards a configuration script facilitates the installation of LHAPDF. </longdescription> </pkgmetadata>
