Abstract

The method of scaling transformations permitting to carry out the reconstruction of cross sections of γN\gamma N and γγ\gamma\gamma interactions on the basis of cross sections of nucleon-(anti)nucleon interactions is suggested. The photon--hadron scaling violation is a consequence of dependence of scaling transformation parameter nˉ(s)\bar n(s) on the energy. The universal function nˉ(s)\bar n(s) is interpreted as the multiplicity of photohadronization. This function is established by processing the data on γp\gamma p cross sections in the low energy region s<20\GeV\sqrt{s}< 20 \GeV and is extrapolated to the high energy region up to s200\GeV\sqrt{s}\sim 200 \GeV. The results of the reconstruction of γN\gamma N cross sections at high energies and of γγ\gamma\gamma ones at all energies are in a remarkable agreement with available experimental data.
