Double Tag Events in Two-photon Collisions at Lep
Double tag events in two photon collisions are studied using the L3 detector at the LEP center of mass energies √ s ≃ 189 − 202 GeV. The cross-section of γ * γ * collisions is measured at an average photon virtuality Q 2 = 15 GeV 2. The results are in agreement with Monte Carlo predictions based on perturbative QCD, while the Quark Parton Model alone is insufficient to describe the data. The me...
متن کاملResolved γ ∗ L in hard collisions of virtual photons : QCD effects
The manifestations of QCD effects on quark and gluon distribution functions of longitudinally polarized virtual photons involved in hard collisions are investigated. It is shown that for moderate photon virtualities and in the kinematical region accessible at HERA and LEP these effects are sizable and significantly enhance theoretical predictions based on contributions of transversally polarize...
متن کاملQuantum Chromodynamics at Colliders
QCD is the accepted (that is, the effective) theory of the strong interaction; studies at colliders are no longer designed to establish this. Such studies can now be divided into two categories. The first involves the identification of observables which can be both measured and predicted at the level of a few percent. Such studies parallel those of the electroweak sector over the past fifteen y...
متن کاملThe Structure of the Photon
The photon is one of the fundamental gauge bosons of the Standard Model without selfcouplings and without intrinsic structure. However, at high energies photon-hadron and photon-photon interactions are dominated by quantum fluctuations of the photons into fermion-antifermion pairs and into vector mesons which have the same spin-parity (JPC = 1) as the photon. This is called photon structure. El...
متن کاملExclusive Channels in Photon-photon Collisions at Lep
The study of exclusive channels in photon-photon collisions at e + e − colliders allows to investigate the structure and the properties of hadrons in a very clean experimental environment. A concise review of the most recent results obtained at LEP is presented.
