We present the complete NLO QCD analysis of the photon structure functions $F_2^\gamma(x,Q^2)$ and $F_L^\gamma(x,Q^2)$ for a real photon target. In particular we study the heavy flavor content of the structure functions which is due to two…
Recent results from NLO QCD calculations for inclusive jet cross sections in gamma^*-gamma scattering at e+e- colliders, especially for LEP, are reported. The virtuality Q^2 of the virtual photon is non-zero and can be unlimited large. The…
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…

Interactions of virtual photons are analyzed in terms of photon structure. It is argued that the concept of parton distribution functions is phenomenologically very useful even for highly virtual photons involved in hard collisions. This…
We study the three positivity constraints among the eight virtual photon structure functions, derived from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and which are hence model-independent. The photon structure functions obtained from the simple parton…

We report on new results of the spin dependent structure functions $g_1$ and $h_1$ of the nucleon. An attempt is made to convert the moments, which is what one computes on the lattice, to quark distribution functions.
In this article aspects of photon-photon physics related to the structure of real and virtual photons are reviewed. A re-calculation of the virtual photon-photon box is performed and some discrepancies in the literature are clarified. A…
