Using data taken at PETRA we present results on deep inelastic electron photon scattering at momentum transfers 1 < Q 2 < 15 GeV 2 . The results are expressed in terms of the photon structure function F 2 and are compared with QCD predictions and “hadronic” models of the photon. The pointlike component of the photon is found to be dominant.

Measurement of the Photon Structure Function f(2)Gamma at Q**2 from 7-GeV/c**2 to 70-GeV/c**2

The TASSO collaboration Althoff, M. ; Braunschweig, W. ; Gerhards, R. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 31 (1986) 527, 1986.
Inspire Record 228251 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15858

We have measured the processe+e−→e+e−+hadrons, where one of the scattered electrons was detected at large angles, withQ2 ranging from 7 to 70 (VeV/c)2. The photon structure functionF2γ(x, Q2) was determined at an averageQ2 of 23 (GeV/c)2. The measurements were compared to theoretical predictions of the Quark Parton Model and Quantum Chromodynamics. In both models a hadronic part was added. Within the errors the data are in agreement with the QPM using quark masses of 300 MeV/c2 for the light quarks. The data also agree with a QCD calculation including higher order corrections. A fit yielded a\(\Lambda _{\overline {MS} } \) value of 140−65+190 MeV, where the errors include statistical and systematic uncertainties.

We have measured at PETRA the process e γ → e + hadrons at an average Q 2 value of 9 GeV 2 / c 2 . The total number of observed events attributed to this process is 215. Our data are compared to calculations based on the estimation of the photon structure function F 2 in the quark parton model and in QCD.

A Measurement of the photon structure function F2

The AMY collaboration Sasaki, T. ; Yamagishi, Y. ; Tanaka, R. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 252 (1990) 491-498, 1990.
Inspire Record 299056 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29524

The photon structure function F 2 has been measured at average Q 2 values of 73,160 and 390 ( GeV c ) 2 . We compare the x dependence of the Q 2 = 73 ( GeV c ) 2 data with theoretical expectations based on QCD. In addition we present results on the Q 2 evolution of the structure function for the intermediate x range (0.3⩽ x ⩽0.8). The results are consistent with QCD.

Measurement and QCD Analysis of the Photon Structure Function F2 (x, Q**2)

The PLUTO collaboration Berger, Christoph ; Genzel, H. ; Lackas, W. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 281 (1987) 365, 1987.
Inspire Record 230592 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.33588

We present a measurement of the hadronic structure function F 2 γ ( x , Q 2 ) of the photon in the Q 2 range from 10 to 100 GeV 2 . Data were taken with the PLUTO detector at the e + e - storage ring PETRA. This measurement and previous PLUTO measurements in the Q 2 range of 1.5 to 16 GeV 2 are compared with higher order QCD calculations. The structure function is consistent with the predicted log Q 2 behaviour when charm contributions are subtracted. The x dependence can be well described for 0.1 < x < 0.9 by the regularization scheme of Antoniadis and Grunberg. Within their scheme the data yield a value of Λ MS = 183 + 65/ −40( stat. ) + 46/ −36( sys. ) MeV for the QCD scale parameter.

Measurement of the photon structure function F2 (gamma) in the reaction e+ e- ---> e+ e- + hadrons at LEP

The OPAL collaboration Akers, R. ; Alexander, G. ; Allison, John ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 61 (1994) 199-208, 1994.
Inspire Record 358863 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.48474

We present measurements of the hadronic photon structure functionF2γ(x), in twoQ2 ranges with mean values of 5.9 GeV2 and 14.7 GeV2. The data were taken by the OPAL experiment at LEP, with\(\sqrt s\) close to theZ0 mass and correspond to an integratede+e− luminosity of 44.8 pb−1. In the context of a QCD-based model we find the quark transverse momentum cutoff separating the vector meson dominance (VMD) and perturbative QCD regions to be 0.27±0.10 GeV. We confirm that there is a significant pointlike component of the photon when the probe photon hasQ2>4 GeV2. Our measurements extend to lower values ofx than any previous experiment, and no increase ofF2γ(x) is observed.

Measurement of the photon structure function F2(gamma) and jet production at TRISTAN

The TOPAZ collaboration Muramatsu, K. ; Hayashii, H. ; Noguchi, S. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 332 (1994) 477-487, 1994.
Inspire Record 373856 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38377

We have measured the photon structure function F 2 γ in the reaction e + e − → e + e − hadrons for average Q 2 values from 5.1 to 338 GeV 2 by using data collected by the TOPAZ detector at TRISTAN. The data have been corrected for detector effects and are compared with theoretical expectations based on QCD. The structure function F 2 γ increases as ln Q 2 , as expected. A sample of events with one or two distinct jets has been identified in the final state. Although two-jet events can be explained solely by the point-like perturbative part, one-jet events require a significant hadron-like part in addition.
