The paper deals with kinematic conditions for the inverse Compton scattering of photons by relativistic electrons and the polarizations of the colliding particles, which affect the value of the differential cross section of the process. A…
We compute the contribution of Kaluza-Klein graviton exchange to the cross section for photon-neutrino scattering. Unlike the usual situation where the virtual graviton exchange represents a small correction to a leading order electroweak…
The importance of the contributions of the longitudinally polarized virtual photon in ep collisions is investigated. We derive the factorization formulae for the unpolarized inclusive and semi-inclusive ep collisions in an arbitrary…
Measurements of dijet cross sections for virtual photons are presented as a function of $\xo$, the fraction of the virtual photon energy invested in the production of the dijet system, using the ZEUS detector. Comparisons to QCD predictions…
We review the present level of knowledge of the hadronic structure of the photon, as revealed in interactions involving quarks and gluons ``in" the photon. The concept of photon structure functions is introduced in the description of…
We consider scattering of a single photon by an atom or a molecule in the framework of non relativistic qed, and we express the scattering matrix for one photon scattering as a boundary value of the resolvent.
Threshold photon electroproduction off the proton allows one to measure new electromagnetic observables which generalise the usual polarisabilities. There are -- a priori -- ten "generalised polarisabilities", functions of the virtual…
This review covers selected results from the LEP experiments on the structure of quasi-real and virtual photons. The topics discussed are the total hadronic cross-section for photon-photon scattering, hadron production, jet cross-sections,…
We consider deeply virtual Compton scattering on a photon target, in the generalized Bjorken limit, at the Born order and in the leading logarithmic approximation. We interpret the result as a factorized amplitude of a hard process…
We evaluate the two-photon exchange correction to the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section within a dispersive framework. Besides the elastic contribution, we account for all $\pi N$ intermediate state contributions using the…
This is the second of two papers in which we study real and virtual photon-proton scattering in a nonperturbative framework. In the first paper we have identified the leading contributions to this process at high energies and have derived…
After giving a very brief introduction to the resolved photon processes, I will summarise the latest experimental information from HERA, on resolved photon contribution to large pt jet production as well as to direct photon production. I…
We evaluate the two-photon exchange (TPE) correction to the unpolarized elastic electron-proton scattering at small momentum transfer $ Q^2 $. We account for the inelastic intermediate states approximating the double virtual Compton…
It is demonstrated that present $e^+e^-$ and DIS ep data on the structure of the virtual photon can be understood entirely in terms of the standard `naive' quark--parton model box approach. Thus the QCD renormalization group (RG) improved…
We calculate two-photon exchange amplitude for the elastic electron-pion scattering in the dispersion-relation inspired approach, including both elastic and inelastic contributions. The latter was modelled as a sum of \rho and b_1(1235)…
We examine the two-photon exchange corrections to elastic electron-proton scattering within a dispersive approach, including contributions from both Nucleon and Delta intermediate states. The dispersive analysis avoids off-shell…
We compute the two photon exchange contributions to elastic scattering of polarized electrons from target protons. We use a nonlocal field theory formalism for this calculation. The formalism maintains gauge invariance and provides a…
The use of entangled photons in an imaging system can exhibit effects that cannot be mimicked by any other two-photon source, whatever the strength of the correlations between the two photons. We consider a two-photon imaging system in…
We consider the role of the two-photon corrections to the small angle $\mu p$ and $ep$ elastic scattering and the expected $\sigma(\mu^- p)/\sigma(\mu^+ p)$ ratio.
The production of a hard and isolated photon accompanied by one or two jets in large-Q2 deep inelastic ep scattering is calculated at next-to-leading order. We include consistently contributions from quark-to-photon fragmentation and study…
