Complete Next to Leading Order QCD Corrections to the Photon Structure Functions $F_{2}^{3} (x, Q^{2})$ and $F_{L}^{3} (x, Q^{2})$

Abstract

We present the complete NLO QCD analysis of the photon structure functions $F_{2}^{3} (x, Q^{2})$ and $F_{L}^{3} (x, Q^{2})$ for a real photon target. In particular we study the heavy flavor content of the structure functions which is due to two different production mechanisms, namely collisions of a virtual photon with a real photon, and with a parton. We observe that the charm contributions are noticeable for $F_{2}^{3} (x, Q^{2})$ as well as $F_{L}^{3} (x, Q^{2})$ in the x-region studied.
