Detailed Description

Interpolate alpha_s from tabulated points in Q2 via metadata

Todo:: Extrapolation: log-gradient xpol at low Q, const at high Q?

Member Function Documentation

◆ _setup_grids()

void LHAPDF::AlphaS_Ipol::_setup_grids ( ) const

private

Synchronise the contents of the single Q2 / alpha_s vectors into subgrid objects

Note: This is const so it can be called silently from a const method

◆ setAlphaSValues()

void LHAPDF::AlphaS_Ipol::setAlphaSValues ( const std::vector< double > & as )

inline

Set the array of alpha_s(Q2) values for interpolation

The supplied vector must match the layout of Q2 knots. Subgrids may have discontinuities, i.e. different alpha_s values on either side of a subgrid boundary (for the same Q values).

◆ setQ2Values()

void LHAPDF::AlphaS_Ipol::setQ2Values ( const std::vector< double > & q2s )

inline

Set the array of Q2 values for interpolation

Subgrids are represented by repeating the values which are the end of one subgrid and the start of the next. The supplied vector must match the layout of alpha_s values.

◆ setQValues()

void LHAPDF::AlphaS_Ipol::setQValues ( const std::vector< double > & qs )

Set the array of Q values for interpolation

Writes to the same internal arrays as setQ2Values, appropriately transformed.

Member Data Documentation

◆ _knotarrays

std::map<double, AlphaSArray> LHAPDF::AlphaS_Ipol::_knotarrays

mutableprivate

Map of AlphaSArrays "binned" for lookup by low edge in (log)Q2

Note: This is mutable so it can be initialized silently from a const method
