Abstract
Sommaire-Des gtudes des collisions photon-photon sont revues avec une attention particuliere donnge aux resultats nouveaux present &?i cette confgrence. Ceux-ci incluent des resultats sur la spectrosopie des mdsons 16gers et sur la diffusion inElastique profonde glectron-photon. Un travail considerable a dtd jusqu'a maintenant accompli sur la production de rdsonances dans les collisions yy. Des Etudes prgliminaires, de grandes statistiques, de la fonction de structure du photon Fz(x,Q2) sont pr&entCes et des commentaires sont faits sur les problames qu'il reste B r&soudre. Abstract- Studies of photon-photon collisions are reviewed with particular emphasis on new results reported to this conference. These include results on light meson spectroscopy and deep inelastic ey scattering. Considerable work has now been accumulated on resonance production by yy collisions. Preliminary high statistics studies of the photon structure function F$(x,Q2) are given and comments are made on the problems that remain to be solved. 1. General Remarks- The advent of high-energy-high-luminosity e+e- storage rings has led to productive studies of photon-photon collisions. As shown ' by C. F. Weizsacker and E..I. Williams, the electromagnetic field produced by a charge moving with relativistic velocity is equivalent to a flux of virtual photons with a characteristic spectrum, dNy/dk = l/k,
