The dijet cross section as a function of both the fraction of the photon momentum participating in the hard process, x_gamma^{OBS}, and the photons virtuality, Q^2, is compared with the predictions of Herwig 5.9 for various photon parton distribution functions. The ratio of dijet cross sections with x_gamma^{OBS} < 0.75 and x_gamma^{OBS} > 0.75 is measured as a function of Q^2. This ratio is found to decrease as Q^2 increases consistent with the hypothesis that the photon parton distribution functions decrease with increasing photon virtuality.

We present the achievements of the last years of the experimental and theoretical groups working on hadronic cross section measurements at the low energy e+e- colliders in Beijing, Frascati, Ithaca, Novosibirsk, Stanford and Tsukuba and on tau decays
. We sketch the prospects in these fields for the years to come. We emphasise the status and the precision of the Monte Carlo generators used to analyse the hadronic cross section measurements obtained as well with energy scans as with radiative return, to determine luminosities and tau decays. The radiative corrections fully or approximately implemented in the various codes and the contribution of the vacuum polarisation are discussed.
The differential cross sections sigma_0=sigma_T+epsilon sigma_L, sigma_{LT}, and sigma_{TT} of pi^0 electroproduction from the proton were measured from threshold up to an additional center of mass energy of 40 MeV, at a value of the photon four-mome
ntum transfer of Q^2= 0.05 GeV^2/c^2 and a center of mass angle of theta=90^circ. By an additional out-of-plane measurement with polarized electrons sigma_{LT} was determined. This showed for the first time the cusp effect above the pi^+ threshold in the imaginary part of the s-wave. The predictions of Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory are in disagreement with these data. On the other hand, the data are somewhat better predicted by the MAID phenomenological model and are in good agreement with the dynamical model DMT.
Several total and partial photoionization cross section calculations, based on both theoretical and empirical approaches, are quantitatively evaluated with statistical analyses using a large collection of experimental data retrieved from the literatu
re to identify the state of the art for modeling the photoelectric effect in Monte Carlo particle transport. Some of the examined cross section models are available in general purpose Monte Carlo systems, while others have been implemented and subjected to validation tests for the first time to estimate whether they could improve the accuracy of particle transport codes. The validation process identifies Scofields 1973 non-relativistic calculations, tabulated in the Evaluated Photon Data Library(EPDL), as the one best reproducing experimental measurements of total cross sections. Specialized total cross section models, some of which derive from more recent calculations, do not provide significant improvements. Scofields non-relativistic calculations are not surpassed regarding the compatibility with experiment of K and L shell photoionization cross sections either, although in a few test cases Ebels parameterization produces more accurate results close to absorption edges. Modifications to Biggs and Lighthills parameterization implemented in Geant4 significantly reduce the accuracy of total cross sections at low energies with respect to its original formulation. The scarcity of suitable experimental data hinders a similar extensive analysis for the simulation of the photoelectron angular distribution, which is limited to a qualitative appraisal.
We perform two tunes of the SHERPA Monte Carlo generator for the generation of $e^+e^-rightarrowmbox{hadrons}$ using the publicly-available LEP analyses in Rivet. In each of these tunes, we generate events at $sqrt{s}=91.25mbox{ GeV}$ using matrix el
ements for final states containing up to six partons. In the first, LO tune, matrix elements for all final states are generated at leading order; in the second, NLO tune, matrix elements for final states with up to four partons are generated at next-to-leading order using BlackHat, while those for states with five and six partons are generated at leading order. The tunes are accomplished using Professor, and comparisons with unfolded LEP1 and LEP2 data are produced with Rivet. We also compare the data with events generated with KK2f interfaced to PYTHIA using the standard ALEPH tune. We find that both SHERPA samples show improvement relative to KK2f for observables related to four-jet final states, while all three samples produce comparable results for event-shape variables. Overall, the agreement with data is best for the LO tune. We provide our tuning parameters and many data-Monte Carlo comparisons.
Three widely used scenaria for defining cuts on transverse energies of jets in ep collisions are discussed. All of them are shown to suffer from the same sort of unphysical behaviour when the cut regions are subject to additional constraints. This fe
ature is inherent in the very way dijet cross sections are defined and cannot be avoided. In particular, the symmetric cut scenario is shown to be equally suitable for the comparison with NLO QCD calculations as the asymmetric or sum-like ones.
