Photoproduction Processes in Polarized ep - Collisions at HERA
Abstract
We study various conceivable photoproduction reactions in a polarized ep collider mode of HERA with respect to their sensitivity to the proton's polarized gluon distribution. A special emphasis is put on the `resolved' part of the cross sections which in principle opens the possibility to determine for the first time also the completely unknown parton content of longitudinally polarized photons. In the very promising case of dijet production we also investigate the impact of parton showering, hadronization and jet finding on the parton level results.
