Prompt Photon Production in $\gamma \gamma$ Collisions and the Gluon Content of the Photon

L. E. Gordon, J. K. Storrow

We calculate the cross section for inclusive prompt photon production in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions, i.e. the reaction $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to \gamma \gamma \to \gamma X$, in next-to-leading order QCD. We show that at LEP2…
