چکیده
We present a systematic analysis of the polarised and unpolarised processes e e ! e + e X in the deep inelastic limit and study the e ects of target photon mass (virtuality) on the photon structure functions. The e ect of target photon virtuality manifests as new singly polarised structure functions and also alters the physical interpretation of the unpolarised structure functions. The physical interpretation of these structure functions in terms of hadronic components is studied using the free eld analysis. We also retrieve the real photon results in the limit the virtuality goes to zero. Assuming factorisation of the photon structure tensor, the relevant QCD corrections to the various twist two structure functions are evaluated. y Address after August: Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Homi Bhabha Road, Bombay 400 005, INDIA. z Presently at: Theory Group, Physical Research Laboratory, Navrangpura Ahmedabad 380 009, INDIA email: [email protected]

Photon Structure Functions: Target Photon Mass Effects and QCD Corrections

متن کاملPolarized and Unpolarized Structures of the Virtual Photon
As Maria Krawczyk remarked in her introductory talk on structure functions [1] , the virtual photon structure provides a unique test of QCD. In this talk I would like to discuss the polarized and unpolarized virtual photon structures. But because of the limitation of the allocated time, I will mainly focus my talk on the polarized virtual photon structure. Recently there has been growing intere...
متن کاملPolarized Virtual Photon Structure Function in the Next-to-leading Order in QCD
The virtual photon structure function g 1 (x,Q , P ), which can be obtained in polarized ee colliding-beam experiments, is investigated for Λ ≪ P 2 ≪ Q, where −Q (−P ) is the mass squared of the probe (target) photon. The analysis is made to next-to-leading order in QCD, in the framework of the QCD improved parton model with the DGLAP evolution equations. The non-leading corrections significant...

The investigation of the photon structure has been an active field of research both theoretically and experimentally [1,2,3,4]. Also there has been growing interest in the study of the spin structure of photon. In particular, the first moment of the polarized photon structure function g 1 has attracted attention in connection with its relevance to the QED and QCD axial anomaly [5,6,7,8,9]. The ...
متن کاملComplete next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the photon structure functions F2 gamma (x,Q2) and FL gamma (x,Q2).
We present the complete NLO QCD analysis of the photon structure functions F γ 2 (x, Q 2) and F γ L (x, Q 2) for a real photon target. In particular we study the heavy flavor content of the structure functions which is due to two different production mechanisms, namely collisions of a virtual photon with a real photon, and with a parton. We observe that the charm contributions are noticeable fo...
