PDFxTMDLib: A High-Performance C++ Library for Collinear and Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions

School
PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS

Abstract:

Collinear parton distribution functions (cPDFs) and transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs) are essential for calculating cross sections in high-energy physics, particularly within collinear and -factorization frameworks. Currently, there exists two libraries, such as LHAPDF and TMDLib, to obtain these physical objects. However, there are limitations in both libraries, especially for TMDs, such as restricted customization and extensibility. Users are limited to the implementations provided by these libraries and cannot easily support unconventional PDFs. Additionally, no standard TMD library currently suppo ...
