Photoproduction of Jets on a Virtual Pion Target in Next-to-Leading Order QCD

Abstract

Differential cross sections for inclusive dijet photoproduction on a virtual pion have been calculated in next-to-leading order QCD as a function of $E_T, η$, and $x_π$. The cross sections are compared with recent ZEUS data on photoproduction of dijets with a leading neutron in the final state.
