Direct vs. resolved photon: an exercise in factorization
J. Chýla
Abstract
Direct and resolved photon interactions are shown to be intimately related through the factorization mechanism. It is argued that in theoretically consistent analysis of jet production in γp and ep collisions the LO resolved γ contribution must be considered together with the NLO direct γ component. Recent data from HERA therefore do not provide a direct evidence for the former component, but should rather be interpreted as a manifestation of the O(ααs2) term in γp and, via the Weizsäcker-Williams approximation, in ep interactions.
