Measurements of di-jet production at HERA provide an important test of NLO QCD calculations. It is also a source of information about partonic content of the photon, complementary to the measurements in e+e- experiments. In this article we…

We briefly describe what a two photon capability with KLOE2 can measure and discuss what this will teach us about the world of light hadrons.
The photon structure function is a useful testing ground for QCD. It is perturbatively computable apart from a contribution from what is usually called the hadronic component of the photon. There have been many proposals for this…
Recent results on measurements of the strong coupling $\alpha_S$ from LEP are reported. These include analyses of the 4-jet rate using the Durham or Cambridge algorithm, of hadronic $Z^0$ decays with hard final state photon radiation, of…
The photon structure function F_2^gamma has been measured at <Q^2> of 706 GeV^2, using a sample of two-photon events with a scattered electron observed in the OPAL electromagnetic endcap calorimeter. The data were taken during the years…
Jet production in $ep$ collisions is sensitive to the partonic structure of photon. The latest measurements of dijet production from the H1 experiment provide new results of the gluon density of real photons at low $x$ and, for the first…
We calculate the spin dependent structure function of the polarized virtual photon $g_1^{\gamma}(x,Q^2,p^2)$, especially its hadronic part, using the OPE in the inverse powers of the target photon virtuality. Some model is accepted to…
Hadronic decays rates of the $\tau$ lepton into multi meson final states are presented. The structure of the hadronic matrix elements for various decay modes is discussed. The formalism of structure functions allows for a detailed test of…
I review recent developments in the study of the low-x partonic content of protons and nuclei, with a focus on the latter, as one expects possible deviations from linear QCD evolution to be most pronounced in that case. I give examples of…
At high energies photon-photon interactions are dominated by quantum fluctuations of the photons into fermion-antifermion pairs and into vector mesons. This is called photon structure. Electron-positron collisions at LEP are an ideal…
The structure of the form factors stemmed from the hadronization of QCD currents in the energy region of the resonances can be explored through the analyses of exclusive hadronic decays of the tau lepton. I give a short review on the later…
