Sivers Function

Below we supply grid files, interpolation routines, and sample calculations for both the up and down quark Sivers function of the proton. Here we supply the implementation of evolution for the Torino and Bochum fits to the Sivers function, using (Eur.Phys. J. A39,89(2009)) and (Phys.Rev.D73,094023 (2006)) for the non-perturbative input needed for the CSS evolution. See the README file and arXiv:1110.6428v1 [hep-ph] for more explanation.

Example Figure: Negative of the Up quark Sivers Function for x=0.1

Note that the implementation of the evolution of the Torino fits uses the unpolarized collinear PDFs. Therefore, in order Torino fits to work correctly, the standard integrated PDF sets need to be installed. Find the MSTW PDF sets here.
