Review of recent experimental results on two photon physics
Description
In this review of recent experimental results on Two Photon Physics, because of time constraints, the author limits his presentation to a few selected topics. He groups the material to be presented under the following 3 headings: A. The Pointlike Character of the Photon: 1. The Structure Function of the Photon, 2. The Process γγ → Hadronic Jets; B. Formation of Even C-Parity Resonances; C. Associated Production of Vector Mesons in γγ Collisions. The field of 2-γ physics got a significant boost from the increasing number of e/sup +/e/sup -/ colliding machines in operation. The authors have come a long way since A.L. Hughes and G.E.M. Jauncy, back in 1930, collided 2 beams of red light in order to study γγ → γγ. Since no scattering was observed they set an upper limit of 3 10/sup -20/ cm/sup 2/ for the cross section area of photons of red light. The physics output from 2-γ physics over the past few years has been both exciting and impressive
