QCD evolution equations: Numerical algorithms from the Laguerre expansion
Description
Abstract A complete numerical implementation, in both singlet and nonsinglet sectors, of a very elegant method to solve the QCD Evolution equations, due to Furmanski and Petronzio, is presented. The algorithm is directly implemented in x-space by a Laguerre expansion of the parton distributions. All the leading-twist distributions are evolved: longitudinally polarized, transversely polarized and unpolarized, to NLO accuracy. The expansion is optimal at finite x, up to reasonably small x-values (x ≈ 10...
