Multiparton Interactions in Photoproduction at HERA
The high energy photoproduction of jets is being observed at the ep collider,
HERA. It may be that the HERA centre-of-mass energy is sufficiently large that
the production of more than one pair of jets per ep collision becomes possible,
owing to the large number density of the probed gluons. We construct a Monte
Carlo model of such multiparton interactions and study their effects on a wide
range of physical observables. The conclusion is that multiple interactions
could have very significant effects upon the photoproduction final state and
that this would for example make extractions of the gluon density in the photon
rather difficult. Total rates for the production of many (i.e. > 2) jets could
provide direct evidence for the presence of multiple interactions, although
parton showering and hadronization significantly affect low transverse energy
jets.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figures include
Significant Phonon Drag Enables High Power Factor in the AlGaN/GaN Two-Dimensional Electron Gas
In typical thermoelectric energy harvesters and sensors, the Seebeck effect
is caused by diffusion of electrons or holes in a temperature gradient.
However, the Seebeck effect can also have a phonon drag component, due to
momentum exchange between charge carriers and lattice phonons, which is more
difficult to quantify. Here, we present the first study of phonon drag in the
AlGaN/GaN two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). We find that phonon drag does
not contribute significantly to the thermoelectric behavior of devices with
~100 nm GaN thickness, which suppress the phonon mean free path. However, when
the thickness is increased to ~1.2 m, up to 32% (88%) of the Seebeck
coefficient at 300 K (50 K) can be attributed to the drag component. In turn,
the phonon drag enables state-of-the-art thermoelectric power factor in the
thicker GaN film, up to ~40 mW m K at 50 K. By measuring the
thermal conductivity of these AlGaN/GaN films, we show that the magnitude of
the phonon drag can increase even when the thermal conductivity decreases.
Decoupling of thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient could enable
important advancements in thermoelectric power conversion with devices based on
2DEGs
Inclusive particle production at HERA: Higher-order QCD corrections to the resolved quasi-real photon contribution
We calculate in next-to-leading order inclusive cross sections of
single-particle production via resolved photons in collisions at HERA.
Transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions are presented and the scale
dependence is studied. The results are compared with first experimental data
from the H1 Collaboration at HERA.Comment: 11 pages with 15 uuencoded PS figures. Preprint DESY 93-03
Inclusive Dijet Production at HERA: Direct Photon Cross Sections in Next-To-Leading Order QCD
We have calculated inclusive two-jet cross sections in next-to-leading order
QCD for direct photoproduction in low collisions at HERA. Infrared
and collinear singularities in real and virtual contributions are cancelled
with the phase space slicing method. Analytical formulas for the different
contributions giving the dependence on the slicing parameter are presented.
Various one- and two-jet distributions have been computed demonstrating the
flexibility of the method.Comment: 30 pages, latex, 11 figures appended as uuencoded fil
Dijet Rapidity Gaps in Photoproduction from Perturbative QCD
By defining dijet rapidity gap events according to interjet energy flow, we
treat the photoproduction cross section of two high transverse momentum jets
with a large intermediate rapidity region as a factorizable quantity in
perturbative QCD. We show that logarithms of soft gluon energy in the interjet
region can be resummed to all orders in perturbation theory. The resummed cross
section depends on the eigenvalues of a set of soft anomalous dimension
matrices, specific to each underlying partonic process, and on the
decomposition of the scattering according to the possible patterns of hard
color flow. We present a detailed discussion of both. Finally, we evaluate
numerically the gap cross section and gap fraction and compare the results with
ZEUS data. In the limit of low gap energy, good agreement with experiment is
obtained.Comment: 37 pages, Latex, 17 figure
Jet photoproduction and the structure of the photon
Various jet observables in photoproduction are studied and compared to data
from HERA. The feasibility of using a dijet sample for constraining the parton
distributions in the photon is then studied. For the current data the
experimental and theoretical uncertainties are comparable to the variation due
to changing the photon parton distribution set.Comment: 20 pages including 11 figures. Latex using revtex and psfig macros.

On the photoproduction of jets at HERA
We discuss the inclusive jet production at HERA in the next-to-leading
logarithm approximation. Theoretical uncertainties are considered in some
details. We show the importance of the jet rapidity distribution to constrain
the parton densities in the photon. A comparison is made with the recent H1
data.Comment: 10 + 7 figures included uuencoded tar-compressed

Factorization Breaking in Dijet Photoproduction with a Leading Neutron
The production of dijets with a leading neutron in ep-interactions at HERA is
calculated in leading order and next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD using
a pion-exchange model. Differential cross sections for deep-inelastic
scattering (DIS) and photoproduction are presented as a function of several
kinematic variables. By comparing the theoretical predictions for DIS dijets to
recent H1 data, the pion flux factor together with the parton distribution
functions of the pion is determined. The dijet cross sections in
photoproduction show factorization breaking if compared to the H1
photoproduction data. The suppression factor is S = 0.48 (0.64) for resolved
(global) suppression.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Virtual Photon Strucutre Functions and the Parton Content of the Electron
We point out that in processes involving the parton content of the photon the
usual effective photon approximation should be modified. The reason is that the
parton content of virtual photons is logarithmically suppressed compared to
real photons. We describe this suppression using several simple, physically
motivated ans\"atze. Although the parton content of the electron in general no
longer factorizes into an electron flux function and a photon structure
function, it can still be expressed as a single integral. Numerical examples
are given for the \eplem\ collider TRISTAN as well as the collider HERA.Comment: 16 pages and 3 figures (available from DREES@WSICPHEN as topdraw or

Diffractive Photoproduction of Jets with a Direct Pomeron Coupling at HERA
We investigate in detail the effect of a direct pomeron coupling to quarks on
the production of jets in scattering with almost real photons. Jet
production via a direct pomeron coupling is compared with the resolved--pomeron
mechanism. We consider both direct and resolved photoproduction. Rapidity and
transverse momentum distributions are calculated and compared with preliminary
H1 and ZEUS data.Comment: 21 pages, Latex file, 7 figures (uuencoded) enclosed, Preprint DESY
