Photon-photon Total Inelastic Cross-section *

چکیده
We discuss predictions for the total inelastic γγ cross-section and their model dependence on the input parameters. We compare results from a simple extension of the Regge Pomeron exchange model as well as predictions from the eikonalized mini-jet model with recent LEP data. It is by now established that all total cross-sections, including photopro-duction, rise as the c.m. energy of the colliding particles increases. So far a successful description of total cross-sections is obtained in the Regge/Pomeron exchange model [1], in which a Regge pole and a Pomeron are exchanged and total cross-sections are seen to first decrease and subsequently rise according to the expression

PHOTON-NUCLEUS TOTAL CROSS SECTIONSt
Quantitative predictions for the energy and A dependence of the nuclear photoabsorption cross section and inelastic electron-nucleus scattering are given. In general each nucleon does not contribute equally to the total photon-nucleus cross section when coherent contributions of photoproduced hadrons are taken into account. At low energies (E Y N 1 BeV) the cross sections are proportional to nu...
متن کاملJets and jet multiplicities in high-energy photon-nucleon interactions.
We discuss the theory of jet events in high-energy photon-proton interactions using a model which gives a good description of the data available on total inelastic γp cross sections up to √ s=210 GeV. We show how to calculate the jet cross sections and jet multiplicities and give predictions for these quantities for energies appropriate for experiments at the HERA ep collider and for very high ...

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 me...
متن کاملProduction of Isolated Photons in Deep Inelastic Scattering
We present here the predictions obtained from a calculation of the inclusive isolated photon production cross section in deep inelastic scattering. The results are compared with the cross section measurement of the ZEUS collaboration and found in good agreement with all aspects of it. Furthermore, a way of measuring the quark-to-photon fragmention function in DIS is also briefly outlined.
متن کاملTotal Cross Sections and Event Properties from Real to Virtual Photons
A model for total cross sections with virtual photons is presented. In particular γp and γγ cross sections are considered. Our approach extends on a model for photoproduction, where the total cross section is subdivided into three distinct event classes: direct, VMD and anomalous. With increasing photon virtuality, the latter two decrease in importance. Instead Deep Inelastic Scattering dominat...
