What is PineAPPL?

This repository contains programs, libraries and interfaces to read and write PineAPPL interpolation grids, which store theoretical predictions for high-energy collisions independently from their PDFs and the [strong coupling].

PineAPPL grids are generated by Monte Carlo generators, and the grids in turn can be convolved with PDFs to produce tables and plots, such as the following one:
