The Photon Structure from Deep Inelastic Electron-Photon Scattering

The present knowledge of the structure of the photon is presented with emphasis on measurements of the photon structure obtained from deep inelastic electron-photon scattering at e+e- colliders. This review covers the leptonic and hadronic structure of quasi-real and also of highly virtual photons, based on measurements of structure functions and differential cross-sections. Future prospects of the investigation of the photon structure in view of the ongoing LEP2 programme and of a possible linear collider are addressed. The most relevant results in the context of measurements of the photon structure from photon-photon scattering at LEP and from photon-proton and electron-proton scattering at HERA are summarised.

Experimental Results on Two-Photon Physics from LEP

This review covers selected results from the LEP experiments on the structure of quasi-real and virtual photons. The topics discussed are the total hadronic cross-section for photon-photon scattering, hadron production, jet cross-sections, heavy quark production for photon-photon scattering, photon structure functions, and cross-sections for the exchange of two virtual photons.

The QED Structure of the Photon

Measurements of the QED structure of the photon based on the reaction ee --> ee γ(*)(P^2)γ*(Q^2) --> ee mumu are discussed. This review is an update of the discussion of the results on the QED structure of the photon presented in Refs.[1], and covers the published measurements of the photon structure functions F_2, F_A nd F_B and of the differential cross-section dsig/dx for the exchange of two virtual photons.

QED Structure Functions of the Photon

In deep inelastic electron-photon scattering in leading order QED, egamma->egamma*gamma->effbar, there are four non-zero structure functions. We calculate them for real photons retaining the full dependence on the fermion mass, and show numerical results of its effect.

Two Photon Physics at a Future Linear Collider

Some general considerations on a future linear collider and selected topics of two photon physics measurements which can be performed at such a collider are presented. This review discusses the total photon-photon cross section, jet cross sections, structure functions, charm production, the BFKL Pomeron, $W$ pair production, and Higgs production.
