A FORTRAN program for numerical solution of the Altarelli-Parisi equations by the Laguerre method
Description
Abstract We review the Laguerre method for solving the Altarelli-Parisi equations. The Laguerre method allows one to expand quark/parton distributions and splitting functions in orthonormal polynomials. The desired quark distributions are themselves expanded in terms of evolution operators, and we derive the integrodifferential equations satisfied by the evolution operators. We give relevant equations for both flavor nonsinglet and singlet distributions, for both spin-independent and spin-dependent di...
