• Running parameters
• Renormalization group evolution
• Threshold corrections

We present the C++ program library mr that allows us to reliably calculate the values of the running parameters in the Standard Model at high energy scales. The initial conditions are obtained by the running parameters in the (MS) over bar renormalization scheme to observables at lower energies with full two loop precision. The evolution is then performed in accordance with the renormalization group with full three-loop precision. Pure QCD corrections to the matching and running are included four loops. We also provide a Mathematica interface for this program library.

Nature of problem: The running parameters of the Standard Model renormalized in the MS scheme at some high renormalization scale, which is chosen by the user, are evaluated in perturbation theory as precisely as possible in two steps. First, the initial conditions at the electroweak energy scale are evaluated from the Fermi constant G(F) and the pole masses of the W, Z, and Higgs bosons and the bottom and top quarks including the full two-loop threshold corrections. Second, the evolution to the high energy scale is performed by numerically solving the renormalization group evolution equations through three loops. Pure QCD corrections to the matching and running are included through four loops.
Solution method: Numerical integration of analytic expressions
