Abstract: In the realm of high-energy physics, the internal composition of composite particles is modeled via functions known as form factors. These mathematical constructs facilitate the simulation of particle interactions by accounting for internal charge distributions and other intrinsic properties. While indispensable for studying hadronic decays, the process of parsing and incorporating form factor data into numerical routines often introduces substantial computational overhead. This paper evaluates two distinct computational strategies: the conventional Mathematica environment and a specialized C-based framework engineered for integrating form factors into any hadronic decay or interaction. Our findings show that the C-code achieves an execution speed way faster than Mathematica. The source code is publicly available via GitHub (https://github.com/darkfiresmith96/Lattice_QCD).
