Abstract: | We consider the deep inelastic structure functions of the photon in an asymptotically free gauge theory. In contrast to the case of a hadronic target, we find that the shortdistance analysis determines the shape and magnitude and not merely the Q2 dependence of the structure functions. The structure functions of the free quark theory are renormalized by finite, calculable factors. For example, at x = 0.1, we find that F2 will, at large Q2, exceed the free quark result by a factor 1.751, while for x = 0.5, F2 is suppressed asymptotically, relative to the free quark theory, by a factor 0.964, and at x = 0.8, by a factor 0.611. |
