Measurement of Dijet Cross-Sections at Low and the Extraction of an Effective Parton Density for the Virtual Photon H1 Collaboration
نویسندگان
چکیده
The triple-differential dijet cross-section, , is measured with the H1 detector at HERA as a function of the photon virtuality , the fraction of the photon’s momentum carried by the parton entering the hard scattering, , and the square of the mean transverse energy, , of the two highest jets. Jets are found using a longitudinal boost-invariant clustering algorithm in the !#"%$ center of mass frame. The measurements cover the ranges &('*),++/. 0 GeV in virtuality and 01'2&3+/45+-0 '*6 in inelasticity 4 . The results are well described by leading order QCD models which include the effects of a resolved component to the virtual photon. Models which treat the photon as point-like fail to describe the data. An effective leading order parton density for the virtual photon is extracted as a function of the photon virtuality, the probing scale and the parton momentum fraction. The and probing scale dependences of the parton density show characteristic features of photon structure, and a suppression of this structure with increasing is seen. Submitted to Eur. Phys. J. C. C.
