PySmeQcd 1.1.0a0

A Python library for the Screened Massive Expansion of QCD

PySmeQcd

PySmeQcd is a Python library for making calculations within the framework of the Screened Massive Expansion of Quantum Chromodynamics.

Currently, PySmeQcd contains functions and routines related to the one-loop gluon, ghost and quark propagators in any covariant gauge, both in pure Yang-Mills theory and in full QCD.

Features

• Compute the one-loop gluon, ghost and quark propagators in an arbitrary covariant gauge
• Plot the dressing functions, propagators, spectral functions, and more
• Find the poles and residues of the gluon and quark propagators
• Other features

Installation
