Inclusive Two-Jet Production in Photon-Photon Collisions: Direct and Resolved Contributions in Next-to-Leading Order QCD

Abstract

We have calculated inclusive two-jet production in photon-photon collisions superimposing direct, single-resolved and double-resolved cross sections for center-of-mass energies of TRISTAN and LEP1.5. All three contributions are calculated up to next-to-leading order. The results are compared with recent experimental data. Three NLO sets of parton distributions of the photon are tested.
