NLO photon parton parametrization using ee and ep data

Abstract

An NLO photon parton parametrization is presented based on the existing $F_2^\gamma$ measurements from $e^+e^-$ data and the low-$x$ proton structure function from $ep$ interactions. Also included in the extraction of the NLO parton distribution functions are the dijets data coming from $\gamma p \to j_1 + j_2 +X$. The new parametrization is compared to other NLO parametrizations.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, 2 table
