The NNPDF collaboration determines the structure of the proton using Machine Learning methods. This is the main repository of the fitting and analysis frameworks. In particular it contains all the necessary tools to reproduce the NNPDF4.0 PDF determinations.
The documentation is available at https://docs.nnpdf.science/
See the NNPDF installation guide for instructions on how to install and use the code, requirements and dependencies As a first step we recommend to follow one of the tutorials.
We follow a rolling development model where the tip of the master branch is expected to be stable, tested and correct. For more information see our releases and compatibility policy.
