Jet photoproduction and the structure of the photon

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

Various jet observables in photoproduction are studied and compared to data from HERA. The feasibility of using a dijet sample for constraining the parton distributions in the photon is then studied. For the current data the experimental and theoretical uncertainties are comparable to the variation due to changing the photon parton distribution set.
