Differential Cross Sections for Dijet Photoproduction on a Virtual Pion Target

Differential cross sections for inclusive dijet photoproduction on a virtual pion have been calculated in next-to-leading order QCD. The data includes functions of transverse energy (ET), pseudorapidity (η), and the pion momentum fraction (xπ). Cross sections are compared with recent ZEUS data on photoproduction of dijets with a leading neutron, authored by Klasen, M. from Universität Hamburg.

Use Cases

• Validate next-to-leading order QCD calculations based on differential cross sections.
• Compare theoretical predictions with experimental ZEUS data based on ET, η, and xπ variables.
• Study the photoproduction mechanism on a virtual pion target based on the described cross sections.

Strengths

• Cross sections calculated at next-to-leading order QCD, a higher-order precision level.
• Direct comparison with experimental data from the ZEUS collaboration is mentioned.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
