Abstract

At the future e+ee^{+}e^{-} linear collider ILC/CLIC it will be able to measure the photon structure functions in a wider range of kinematic variables x and Q2Q^{2} in comparison to the previous results of experiments at LEP. The classical way to measure the photon structure functions is the study of e+ee+eγγe+ee^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-} {\gamma}{\gamma} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-} X process, where X is the leptonic or hadronic final state. For the study of the QED and hadronic photon structure functions the simulations of two-photon processes were performed at the ILC center-of-mass energy equal to 500 GeV using the PYTHIA and the ILCSoft package. The analysis used information related to the forward detectors, tracking detectors and calorimeters which are parts of the ILD detector concept.
