Abstract

Experiment 683 at Fermilab Wide Band Photon Laboratory observed events via γp→ jets during the 1991-1992 fixed target run. The present analysis attempted to observe the higher-twist subprocess in QCD using that data to measure the p\sb⊥ spectrum via a clustering algorithm tuned to optimize the distinctive topology of higher-twist events. Results indicate a substantial k\sb⊥ promotion effect at lower p\sb⊥ and a significant NLO contribution to the photoproduction.
