Abstract

Abstract Deep inelastic electron-photon scattering is studied using e+e− data collected by the OPAL detector at centre-of-mass energies s =M Z 0 . The photon structure function F2γ(x, Q 2) is explored in a Q 2 range of 1.1 to 6.6 GeV2 at lower x values than ever before. To probe this kinematic region events are selected with a beam electron scattered into one of the OPAL luminosity calorimeters at scattering angles between 27 and 55 mrad. A measurement is presented of the photon structure function F2γ(x, Q 2) at 〈 Q 2〉 = 1.86 GeV2 and 3.76 GeV2 in five logarithmic x bins from 0.0025 to 0.2.
