Detailed Description

The LHAPDF class inherits from PDFBase and implements an interface to the LHAPDF library of parton density function parameterizations.

This class is available even if LHAPDF was not properly installed when ThePEG was installed, but will then produce an error in the initialization.

Note that the valence densities from the xfvx() and xfvl() function will only work properly for nucleons. All other particles will have zero valence densities.

The interfaces defined for LHAPDF.
