We investigate the one-gluon-exchange ($\alpha \alpha_s$) corrections to the real photon structure functions $W_{TT} $, $W_{LT}$, $W_{TT}^{a} $ and $W_{TT}^\tau$ in the massive parton model. We employ a technique based on the Cutkosky rules…
For almost twenty years the effects of a nonzero strange quark mass on the equation of state of cold and dense QCD were considered to be negligible, thereby yielding only minor corrections to the mass-radius diagram of compact stars. By…
