The Structure Functions of the Photon at Low Virtualities
نویسنده
چکیده
The structure functions F1 and F2 of the real photon at low virtualities are calculated in the framework of chiral pertubation theory(ChPT) in the zero and first order of ChPT. It is assumed that the virtuality of hard projectile photon Q2 is much less than the characteristic ChPT scale. In this approximation the structure functions are determined by the production of two pions in γγ collisions. The numerical results for F2 and F1 are presented.

99 Interpreting virtual photon interactions in terms of parton distribution functions 1
Interactions of virtual photons are analyzed in terms of photon structure. It is argued that the concept of parton distribution functions is phenomeno-logically very useful even for highly virtual photons involved in hard collisions. The role of longitudinal photons for proper interpretation of jet cross–sections in the region of moderate virtualities accessible at HERA is investigated.

Photoproduction of jets at HERA provides information on the partonic structure of the photon. We report on the latest dijet photoproduction results, for real photons and for photons at low virtualities, measured with the ZEUS detector.
متن کاملUtilization of an optimum low-pass filter during filtered back-projection in the reconstruction of single photon emission computed tomography images of small structures
Introduction:Low-pass filters eliminate noise, and accordingly improve the quality of filtered back-projection (FBP) in the reconstruction of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images. This study aimed at selection of an optimum low-pass filter for FBP reconstruction of SPECT images of small structures. Material and Methods:Sp...

متن کاملHadronic structure of the photon at LEP
Recent improvements in the analysis techniques and Monte Carlo models used in the measurement of the hadronic structure function of the photon have lead to much improved experimental results. Its low x behaviour was studied in various Q regions using LEP1 and LEP2 data, while its x dependence and Q evolution up to very high virtualities, as well as its charm component were studied using the hig...
