Improved Approximations for the Three-Loop Splitting Functions in QCD

Abstract

We update our approximate parametrizations of the three-loop splitting functions for the evolution of unpolarized parton densities in perturbative QCD. The new information taken into account is given by the additional Mellin moments recently calculated by Retey and Vermaseren. The inclusion of these constraints reduces the uncertainties of our approximations considerably and extends their region of applicability by about one order of magnitude to lower momentum fractions x .
