Detailed Description

A PDF defined by multiplicative combination of several constituent PDFs.

Todo:
Add division? And other operators? Becomes a can of worms quite fast...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CompositePDF()

template<typename PDFPTR >
LHAPDF::CompositePDF::CompositePDF ( std::vector< PDFPTR > &  pdfs)
inline

Constructor from a list of PDF pointers.

Pointers must be heap-allocated (new'd), and ownership will be taken by the new object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ flavors()

const std::vector<int>& LHAPDF::CompositePDF::flavors ( ) const
inlinevirtual

List of flavours defined by this PDF set.

This list is stored locally after its initial read from the Info object to avoid unnecessary lookups and string decoding, since e.g. it is looked at by every call to the GridPDF's Interpolator and Extrapolator classes.

Todo:
Make virtual for AnalyticPDF? Or allow manual setting of the Info?

Reimplemented from LHAPDF::PDF.

◆ inRangeQ2()

bool LHAPDF::CompositePDF::inRangeQ2 ( double  q2) const
inlinevirtual

Grid range check for Q2.

Return true when given Q2 is in the coverage range of this PDF.

Parameters
q2Squared energy scale
Returns
Whether q2 is in range

Implements LHAPDF::PDF.

◆ inRangeX()

bool LHAPDF::CompositePDF::inRangeX ( double  x) const
inlinevirtual

Grid range check for x.

Return true when given x is in the coverage range of this PDF.

Parameters
xMomentum fraction
Returns
Whether x is in range

Implements LHAPDF::PDF.
