Tung, H.L. Lai, S. Kuhlmann, J. Owens C hep-ph/0303013 C C This package contains C (1) 4 standard sets of CTEQ6 PDF's (CTEQ6M, CTEQ6D, CTEQ6L, CTEQ6L1) ; C (2) 40 up/down sets (with respect to CTEQ6M) for uncertainty studies from Ref[1]; C (3) updated version of the above: CTEQ6.1M and its 40 up/down eigenvector sets from Ref[2]. C C The CTEQ6.1M set provides a global fit that is almost equivalent in every respect C to the published CTEQ6M, Ref[1], although some parton distributions (e.g., the gluon) C may deviate from CTEQ6M in some kinematic ranges by amounts that are well within the C specified uncertainties. C The more significant improvements of the new version are associated with some of the C 40 eigenvector sets, which are made more symmetrical and reliable in (3), compared to (2).

C For the LO fits, the evolution of the PDF and the hard cross sections are C calculated at LO. More detailed discussions are given in the references. C C The table grids are generated for 10^-6 < x < 1 and 1.3 < Q < 10,000 (GeV). C PDF values outside of the above range are returned using extrapolation. C Lam5 (Lam4) represents Lambda value (in MeV) for 5 (4) flavors. C The matching alpha_s between 4 and 5 flavors takes place at Q=4.5 GeV, C which is defined as the bottom quark mass, whenever it can be applied. C C The Table_Files are assumed to be in the working directory. C C Before using the PDF, it is necessary to do the initialization by C Call SetCtq6(Iset) C where Iset is the desired PDF specified in the above table. C C The function Ctq6Pdf (Iparton, X, Q) C returns the parton distribution inside the proton for parton [Iparton] C at [X] Bjorken_X and scale [Q] (GeV) in PDF set [Iset]. C Iparton is the parton label (5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, ......, -5) C for (b, c, s, d, u, g, u_bar, ..., b_bar), C C For detailed information on the parameters used, e.q. quark masses, C QCD Lambda, ... etc., see info lines at the beginning of the C Table_Files. C C These programs, as provided, are in double precision. By removing the C "Implicit Double Precision" lines, they can also be run in single C precision.
