Determining the Gluon Distributions in the Proton and Photon from Two-Jet Production at HERA

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

Two-jet production from the direct photon contribution at HERA is a sensitive measure of the small-xx gluon in the proton. We propose measurements of ratios of the jet cross-sections which will clearly distinguish between gluons with or without singular behaviour at small xx. Furthermore, we show that analogous ratio measurements for the resolved photon contribution provide a sensitive way of determining the gluon distribution in the photon.
