Theory of hard photoproduction
Theory of hard photoproduction
The author reviews the present theoretical understanding of photons and hard photoproduction processes, discussing the production of jets, light and heavy hadrons, quarkonia, and prompt photons in photon-photon and photon-hadron collisions. Virtual and polarized photons and prompt-photon production in hadron collisions are also discussed. The most important leading-order and next-to-leading-order …
