Electromagnetic production of trimuons in deep-inelastic muon scattering
We calculate the cross sections for the electromagnetic contribution to the reaction ..mu.. + N ..-->.. 3..mu.. + N, using the radiative quark-parton model. We discuss some features of the reactions which are expected experimentally, and helpful in distinguishing Compton production from muon radiative production.

The Heavy-Flavour Contribution to Proton Structure
We present theoretical and experimental considerations pertaining to deeply inelastic heavyflavour production at HERA. The various theoretical uncertainties in the cross section calculation are discussed. Cuts are imposed to determine the fraction of charm production accessible to the detectors. The production of charm at asymptotic Q 2 and bottom production are also covered. Experimental aspects include current charm production data analysis and prospects for future analyses including anticipated high precision and distinguishing photon-gluon fusion charm events from excitation from the charm parton density. The feasibility of measuring

Evaluation of a test for the tau neutrino in the zero-muon channel
Abstract Extending previous work, we assess the feasibility of using the visible energy distribution for zero-muon events in a beam dump experiment as a possible means of observing the tau neutrino. The method would require an extremely precise knowledge of various neutrino fluxes and corresponding background reactions, and hence is not as reliable as the muon-trigger test proposed earlier.

Electromagnetic production of trimuons in muon scattering: Bethe-Heitler reactions with muon and heavy-lepton pairs
We analyze the Bethe-Heitler production of muon and heavy-lepton pairs using high-energy muon beams on a variety of targets. We give results for coherent production from a nucleus, for incoherent production from individual protons and neutrons, and for deep-inelastic production. Differential distributions are presented for the final leptons and the effects of experimental cuts are considered. This work complements our previous study of trimuon production via muon radiation, Compton radiation, and hadronic final-state interactions.

Two loop operator matrix elements calculated up to finite terms for polarized deep inelastic lepton - hadron scattering
We present the two-loop corrected operator matrix elements contributing to the scale evolution of the longitudinal spin structure function $g_1(x,Q^2)$ calculated up to finite terms which survive in the limit $\epsilon = N - 4 \to 0$. These terms are needed to renormalize the local operators up to third order in the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$. Further the expressions for the two-loop corrected operator matrix elements can be inserted into one loop graphs to obtain a part of the third order contributions to these matrix elements. This work is a first step in obtaining the third order anomalous dimensions so that a complete next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) analysis of the above mentioned structure function can be carried out. In our calculation particular attention is paid to the renormalization constant which is needed to restore the Ward-identities violated by the HVBM prescription for the $\gamma_5$-matrix in $N$-dimensional regularization.

Role of the nuclear vector potential in deep inelastic scattering
We study the influence of the strong nuclear vector potential, treated using the mean-field approximation, in deep inelastic scattering. A physically consistent treatment of the electromagnetic current operator, combined with the use of the operator product expansion is presented and discussed.

A study of double tagged two-photon reactions at spear☆
Abstract We have identified 262 doubly tagged two-photon events. A subset of the data shows an enhancement of 21 events in the inclusive two-photon mass squared distribution between 0.8 and 2.2 GeV 2 . If these events result from spin 2 resonance production then Γ γγ = 9.5 ± 3.9 ± 2.4 keV (statistical and systematic). From another subset of 58 events in which the final state could be classified we determine the two-photon hadron to muon cross section ratio R γγ = 1.1 ± 0.3 ± 0.3.
