! Since NL3 is a next-to-leading order merging method, next-to-leading
! order PDFs are necessary in the matrix element calculation. However, the
! parton shower and multiparton interactions favour leading-order PDFs,
! since multiparton interactions probe the incoming hadron at small momentum
! scales. Until a NLO-merged tune becomes available, LO PDFs should be used
! throughout the shower.
