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…

We propose a generic ansatz for the extension of parton distributions of the real photon to those of the virtual photon. Alternatives and approximations are studied that allow closed-form parametrizations.
We argue that existing measurements of ep collisions at HERA --in which an energetic photon is made via a QED `Compton' subprocess-- can provide rather detailed information on the photonic parton density of the proton. This function and its…
