A study of the Photon Structure Function F2g(x, Q2) using Two-Dimensional Unfolding
The ALEPH Collaboration
 
Abstract
Data taken with the ALEPH detector at LEP II have been used to measure the photon structure function F2g. The data were collected in 1997 at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV and analysed in two Q2 ranges from 7 to 24 and from 17 to 200 GeV2. To determine F2g, a two-dimensional unfolding method employing the principle of maximum entropy is used, which reduces the errors compared to one-dimensional methods. The results are compared to the predictions of several theoretical methods.
