Abstract

The structure of both quasi-real and highly virtual photons is investigated using the reaction e⁺e^- → e⁺e^-μ⁺μ^-, proceeding via the exchange of two photons. The results are based on the complete OPAL dataset taken at e⁺e^- centre-of-mass energies close to the mass of the Z boson. The QED structure function F^γ₂ and the differential cross-section dσ/dx for quasi-real photons are obtained as functions of the fractional momentum x from the muon momentum which is carried by the struck muon in the quasi-real photon for values of Q² ranging from 1.5 to 400 GeV². The differential cross-section dσ/dx for highly virtual photons is measured for 1.5 < Q² < 30 GeV² and 1.5 < P² < 20 GeV², where Q² and P² are the negative values of the four-momentum squared of the two photons such that Q² > P². Based on azimuthal correlations the QED structure functions F^γ_A and F^γ_B for quasi-real photons are determined for an average Q² of 5.4 GeV².

N2 - The structure of both quasi-real and highly virtual photons is investigated using the reaction e+e- → e+e-μ+μ-, proceeding via the exchange of two photons. The results are based on the complete OPAL dataset taken at e+e- centre-of-mass energies close to the mass of the Z boson. The QED structure function Fγ2 and the differential cross-section dσ/dx for quasi-real photons are obtained as functions of the fractional momentum x from the muon momentum which is carried by the struck muon in the quasi-real photon for values of Q2 ranging from 1.5 to 400 GeV2. The differential cross-section dσ/dx for highly virtual photons is measured for 1.5 < Q2 < 30 GeV2 and 1.5 < P2 < 20 GeV2, where Q2 and P2 are the negative values of the four-momentum squared of the two photons such that Q2 > P2. Based on azimuthal correlations the QED structure functions FγA and FγB for quasi-real photons are determined for an average Q2 of 5.4 GeV2.
