Model-independent QED corrections to photon structure-function measurements

We present the first calculation of QED radiative corrections to deep-inelastic electron-photon scattering in terms of those variables that are reconstructed in measurements of the photon structure function in electron-positron collisions. In order to cover the low-$Q^2$ region, we do not invoke the...

Sumario:We present the first calculation of QED radiative corrections to deep-inelastic electron-photon scattering in terms of those variables that are reconstructed in measurements of the photon structure function in electron-positron collisions. In order to cover the low-$Q^2$ region, we do not invoke the QCD-improved parton model but rather express our results in terms of the photon structure functions. Both analytical and numerical results are given.
