ΔG/G measurement main DIS diagrams (up to 1 st order): LO PGFQCDC only PGF is sensitive to ΔG/G Sébastien ProcureurEPS2005

ΔG/G measurement A pgf = ΔG/G * a LL pgf if factorization holds (need a hard scale): we need to select PGF events( S suppressed)… with a hard scale hard part soft part Sébastien ProcureurEPS2005

Resolved photon processes polarised parton distribution functions of (virtual…) photon are unknown! BUT: -q (x, ²) < q (x, ²) < q (x, ²) leads to 2 extreme (min&max) scenarios additional (theoretical) uncertainty, but we can continue! measured! Sébastien ProcureurEPS2005
