The Parton Content of the Photon
نویسنده
چکیده
2 of the photon to the lowest values of x yet, where the hadronic component of the photon is most important. Inclusive cross sections for D-mesons have been measured as a function of their transverse momenta and are used to test the validity of perturbative QCD in NLO in this region. The total charm quark production cross section is extracted. For the first time the inclusive production of D mesons in deep inelastic electron-photon scattering has been used to extract the charm structure function of the photon. A first sign of beauty production in photon-photon collisions is reported.

Virtual photon structure functions and the parton content of the electron.
We point out that in processes involving the parton content of the photon the usual effective photon approximation should be modified. The reason is that the parton content of virtual photons is logarithmically suppressed compared to real photons. We describe this suppression using several simple, physically motivated ansätze. Although the parton content of the electron in general no longer fac...
متن کاملThe Parton Content of Virtual Photons
The QCD treatment of the parton structure of virtual photons is briefly recalled, and possible limitations and open questions are pointed out. Various models for these densities are compared, completed by a short discussion of the treatment of heavy flavors. Finally, different ways to measure the parton distributions of virtual photons in ee and ep experiments are summed up. Talk presented at t...
متن کاملParton Content of Polarized Photons: Theoretical Status and Experimental Prospects
The theoretical framework for a next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the spin-dependent parton densities ∆f(x,Q) of the longitudinally polarized photon and of its structure function g 1 (x,Q ) is reviewed in some detail. Special emphasis is given to the specific features of different factorization schemes. Two conceivable scenarios for the polarized parton densities ∆f(x,Q) are introduced, whi...
متن کاملThe Parton Structure of Real Photons
The QCD treatment of the photon structure is recalled. Emphasis is given to the recently derived momentum sum rule, and to the proper choice of the factorization scheme and/or boundary conditions for the evolution equations beyond the leading order. Parametrizations of the photon’s parton content are examined and compared. The small-x behaviour of the photon structure is briefly discussed. ∗ In...
متن کاملModiication of the Equivalent Photon Approximation (epa) For`resolved ' Photon Processes. 1
We propose a modiication of the equivalent photon approximation (EPA) for processes which involve the parton content of the photon, to take into account the suppression of the photonic parton uxes due to the virtuality of the photon. We present simple, physically motivated anss atze to model this suppression and show that even though the parton content of the electron no longer factorizes into ...
