APFEL Web: a web-based application for the graphical visualization of parton distribution functions

Abstract

We present APFEL Web, a web-based application designed to provide a flexible user-friendly tool for the graphical visualization of parton distribution functions (PDFs). In this note we describe the technical design of the APFEL Web application, motivating the choices and the framework used for the development of this project. We document the basic usage of APFEL Web and show how it can be used to provide useful input for a variety of collider phenomenological studies. Finally we provide some examples showing the output generated by the application.

Final version, matches published version in JPhysG. Web-application available from http://apfel.mi.infn.it/
