A Semianalytical Method to Solve Altarelli-Parisi Evolution Equations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss a new method to solve in a semianalytical way the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations at NLO order in the x-space. The method allows to construct an evolution operator expressed in form of a rapidly convergent series of matrices, depending only on the splitting functions. This operator, acting on a generic initial distribution, provides a very accurate solution in a short computer time (only a few hundredth of second). As an example, we apply the method, useful to solve a wide class of systems of integrodifferential equations, to the polarized parton distributions
