Abstract

The alternative approach to QCD analysis of the photon structure function F2γF_2^{\gamma} is presented. It differs from the conventional one by the presence of the terms which in conventional approach appear in higher orders. We show that this difference concerns also the photonic parton distribution functions. In the alternative approach, the complete LO analysis of F2γF_2^{\gamma} can be performed as all required quantities are known. At the NLO, however, one of the coefficient function is so far not available and thus only the photonic parton distribution function can be computed and compared to those of standard approach. We discuss the numerical difference of these approaches at the LO and the NLO approximation and show that in case of F2γF_2^{\gamma} this difference is non-negligible and may play an important role in the analysis on photon data of the future experiments.
