MELA: a Mellin Evolution LibrAry

MELA is a Mellin-space based code for parton distribution function (PDF) and fragmentation function (FF) DGLAP evolution. MELA also allows to compute DIS structure functions in different mass schemes up to NNLO in QCD.

Download

MELA can be downloaded directly from the github repository:

https://github.com/vbertone/MELA

For the last development version you can clone the master code:

git clone https://github.com/vbertone/MELA.git

For the latest tag:

git tag -l
git checkout tags/tag_name

Installation

Checkout the code and compile the it using the standar procedure:

cd MELA
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/installation/path/ ..
make && make install
