// Original code from Pythia8:
// Copyright (C) 2010 Torbjorn Sjostrand.
// PYTHIA is licenced under the GNU GPL version 2, see COPYING for details.
//
// The code was modified for Sartre and made multithread safe and several
// methods that are not needed in Sartre were removed.
// The formula this code is based on is from:
// Particle Data Group, W.-M. Yao et al., J. Phys. G33 (2006) 1
//
// Notes on alpha_s values at M_Z:
// In the MRST alpha_s code the following values are used:
// LO: 0.13939
// NLO: 0.12018
// NNLO: 0.11707
//
// PDG (2011) quotes: 0.1184
//
// Pythia uses values varying from 0.12-0.13939 depending on where it is used.
//
// This version with order=1 is identical to MRST LO,
// order=2 is close to MRST NLO for Q>2 GeV. order=0 is constant.
