Moments of the Virtual Photon Structure Function
نویسنده
چکیده
The photon structure function is a useful testing ground for QCD. It is perturbatively computable apart from a contribution from what is usually called the hadronic component of the photon. There have been many proposals for this nonperturbative part of the real photon structure function. By studying moments of the virtual photon structure function, we explore the extent to which these proposed nonperturbative contributions can be identified experimentally.

Polarized Parton Distributions in the Photon and Factorization Scheme Dependence
Spin-dependent parton distributions in the polarized virtual photon are investigated in QCD up to the next-to-leading order (NLO). In the case Λ ≪ P 2 ≪ Q, where −Q (−P ) is the mass squared of the probe (target) photon, parton distributions can be predicted completely up to the NLO, but they are factorization-scheme-dependent. Parton distributions are analyzed in four different factorization s...

We investigate the twist-3 effects in the polarized virtual photon structure. The structure functions g 1 and g γ 2 of polarized photon could be experimentally studied in the future polarized ep or ee colliders. The leading contributions to g 1 are the twist-2 effects, while another structure function g 2 , which only exists for the virtual photon target, receives not only the twist-2 but also ...
