SUBROUTINE QIKPAR - Generate 4-momentum of incoming gluon $g$


In this routine the momentum vector $g$ of the incoming, on-shell gluon (with mass $\sqrt{g^2}=m_g$ set in QIINIT) is calculated according to

$\displaystyle g$ $\textstyle \equiv$ $\displaystyle (g_t,g_x,g_y,g_z)$ (1)
  $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\left(
z\, (P_t+\mid P_z\mid ) +\frac{m_g^2}{z\, (P_t+...
...}
,0,0,z\, (P_t+\mid P_z\mid ) -\frac{m_g^2}{z\, (P_t+\mid P_z\mid )} \right) ,$  

where $z$ denotes the generated momentum fraction and $P=(P_t,0,0,P_z)$ is the 4-momentum of the incoming proton. If $P_z\leq 0$, the direction is reversed, $g_z\to -g_z$.
