Equivalent-photon method for inelastic scattering of electrons on a photon target

Метод зквивалентных фотонов для неупругого рассеяния злектронов на фотонной мищени

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

It is shown that the equivalent-photon method relates the cross-section for the inelastic process e−+γ→e−+X to the cross-section for real two-photon annihilation into hadrons. An estimate is given for this electroproduction cross-section by taking into account the resonance and diffractive regions for photon-photon annihilation into hadrons.

Riassunto

Si mostra che il metodo dei fotoni equivalenti mette in relazione la sezione d’urto per processi anelastici e−+γ→e−+X con la sezione d’urto per l’annichilazione di due fotoni reali in adroni. Si dà una stima di questa sezione d’urto di elettroproduzione tenendo conto delle regioni di risonanza e diffrattiva per annichilazione fotone-fotone in adroni.

Реэюме

Покаэывается, что метод зквивалентных фотонов свяэывает попе-речное сечение для неупругого процесса e−+γ→e−+X с поперечным сечением для аннигиляции двух реальных фотонов в адроны. Приводится оценка для зтого попе-речного сечения злектророждения, принимая во внимание реэонансную и дифрак-ционную области для фотон-фотонной аннигиляции в адроны.
