Minijets in gamma p and gamma gamma collisions
Manuel Drees
Abstract
I discuss the minijet contribution to total photoproduction and photon--photon cross sections. While minijets with pT around 2 GeV have recently been observed directly in \ experiments, the total \ cross section measured at HERA is in excellent agreement with predictions based on purely soft physics. Due to the large number of free parameters, predictions for the minijet contribution to total cross sections can be brought into agreement with these seemingly paradoxical observations. However, the currently used eikonalization procedure may not be applicable at all to a large part of the minijet contribution, making it very difficult to draw definite conclusions at present.
