A measurement of theQ 2 andW dependence of the γγ total cross section for hadron production

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

A measurement of the γγ total cross section, σγγ(Q 2 W), is presented for theQ 2 range 0.1 to 100 GeV2, and for the massW of the hadronic final state between 1.5 and 10 GeV. The dependence of σγγ on bothQ 2 andW is measured. The results are compared with theoretical predictions. It is found that the data are well described by a sum of quarkparton model and vector dominance contributions.
